[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know math don't you? If they make up 80% of those with high schools but only get 50% of the seats that is discrimination. I don't know if this is right but just saying what you wrote is really not a great way to look at things.[/quote] Do you have a citation for the 80% of "those with high schools" statistic? And isn't admission race-blind? [/quote] Not the PP, and actually think the PP is being problematic with this model minority nonsense, but to answer your question: Yes, admissions are race-blind but they are not geography blind. This is the premise for the "discrimination" claims, because MCPS has taken steps to ensure more geographic diversity, but the specific UMC Asian American families who are crying discrimination tend to also be tightly geographically concentrated. Never mind that there are more Asian American families living outside those geographic areas than inside them. [/quote]
