[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's much less toxic now than when they were prioritizing people who could afford test prep.[/quote]

I'd heard that too.[/quote]

If the ability to afford test prep were a preference, we would see more whites than asians. 
Whites are 50% of Fairfax while Asians are 20%
Whites have higher median incomes and wealth than asians.
If they were prioritizing wealth and income, you would expect there to be at least twice as many whites as asians and yet that doesn't happen.

Under the old system, they were prioritizing objectively smarter kids from families that valued education more than other families.  And even then it was watered down by a lot of "holistic factors that prevented TJ from becoming as overwhelming asian as schools like the NYC specialized schools that only use an entrance exam.[/quote]

Why do you always bring race into it? This is a race blind process. It's not about being able to afford test prep. Whites seem more interested in soccer camp than buying access to the QuantQ.[/quote]
