[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does "fair" even mean?  [/quote]

For instance, if there is a single slot. Is it ok to admit a rich Asian family instead of a rich white family? How do you decide that. Is it even ethically correct to say that you are improving diversity by doing this? [/quote]

Define Asian and define white.

Because who you assume is Asian might identify as white and who you assume is white might identify as something else.

And also, there is a lot more to diversity than just race.

And more often than not when it comes to private school admissions, race is not the defining factor. [/quote]

What you are saying does not apply in my private kids school. Race is important in admissions. And it is fully recognized in progressive schools. They do not want a 100 percent class of white kids. Nothing wrong either way but they factor in race for admissions.[/quote]

I am white and I would not want to send my kid to an all white school. Thenworld is not all white. DC is majority non-white.[/quote]
