[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What seems to be missing from this racist discussion among white people is that excluding CAP (which is mostly white, UMC kids) the magnets are not in any way predominantly white or predominantly upper middle class. This is particularly true of MCPS’s flagship magnet at Blair, where white kids are very much the minority.[/quote]

It has been a long time since MCPS released the demographic data for magnets, but RMIB and Poolesville are both at least plurality white.

All of the magnets, including Blair, are predominantly upper middle class if we use a normal metric for upper middle class, not a DCUM metric.

So actually the only true thing here is that the Blair magnet is predominantly Asian. Which is fine and cool but doesn't really mean anything about the rest of the programs.[/quote]

Blair magnet is mostly composed of kids who are Asian - many are Indian - with some black kids and very few white and Hispanic. Many kids, including the white ones (a significant proportion that are Russian or Eastern European) are children of immigrants.  The majority are not upper middle class by any definition.

RMIB is also mostly Asian (less Indian kids maybe?). I’m unfamiliar with Poolesville.[/quote]

I have no idea why you think Asians and Russians have no money. These Potomac kids at Blair magnet (a huge fraction) have money and big houses..
