[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hilarious that everyone just know white kids attending Duke Ellington, yet it is approx 90% black. I'm sure it's really stiff competition. :roll: [/quote] [b]Only racism can explain that disparity. DC population is 50% non-black. Where are the whites, the Hispanics, the Asians, the foreign-born[/b]?[/quote] However, the population in public schools is predominantly black/Latino. I don’t remember the specific percentage but it’s still high, like 80%. I think racism may affect the disparity, but not in the way you imagine. A recent WaPo article said something like half of DC white kids are in privates. Yes, half. If you want schools to be more diverse, convince white families to use public schools.[/quote] That study used 2011/12 school year data — I’d be curious if this has changed in the last seven years.
