[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The courts have spoken in Virginia.  Hopefully this will deter the overenthusiastic progressive nut-jobs that they cannot trample others’ rights to achieve their goals.

Vote out all the idiots at the fcps. [/quote]

Sorry, Tiger moms, FCPS will find a different way to level the playing field, assuming the decision isn’t overturned on appeal. Consider taking that money you’re spending on test prep and private tutors and move to a less affluent pyramid. [/quote]

The one learning for you should be that you stop using terms like “leveling the playing field” as euphemisms for “racial balancing”.  The judge basically said exactly that.  All the anti-Asian policies in the guise of social justice is getting called out in the Courts.  The Harvard case in the Supreme Court will be a further test.

And it is best to avoid racial tropes like “spending on test-prep”.  [b]Those kind of stereotypes are about as offensive as stereotypes of “Uncle Tom” or of Italian mafiosi[/b][/quote]

Don’t waste your breath.  Anti-Asian sentiments and racist stereotypes are welcomed and encouraged on this board and elsewhere in society as a while.  A racist comment like that PP against AA parents or Latinx parents would be deleted immediately.  [/quote]

It’s not a stereotype if it’s true. Please, show me all the examples of inherent Asian superiority, students excelling at these tests with absolutely no private outside investment whatsoever. Listen, it stinks when you think you’ve figured out a hack and have spent a lot of money on it just to find the game has shifted under your feet. I get it. But this is a public school, not a private school, and if the system looks rigged against entire swaths of your population you can bet it is going to change. Use the money and move, because the future is geographic lotteries. [/quote]

Just cut it out. Nobody is claiming racial superiority of inferiority. We are talking about stereotypes where individual identity is subsumed by a caricature of the individual’s race - the kind you are spouting.

For every Asian who preps there are a 100 who don’t.  Racism is about stereotypes (and ironically CRT is also about combating stereotypes).  I got nothing to do with you and your ilk.  And I am not moving either.  You’d better learn to get your lazy butt off the ground because the days of handouts are over.  Compete - because if you don’t you will just get left behind. Just because a system does not give you the outcome you want does bog mean it is rigged.

Take cultural sensitivity/unconscious bias training at work and mull over your own prejudice.  Hopefully you will emerge s better person.
