[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the Pp that posted the stats.  I currently attend one of those schools.  We are biracial family.  I think it's important to attend a school that is representative of the city we live in and includes economic and and racial diversity.  None of the schools listed above are whiter, they are simply indicative of the city we live in.[/quote]

My point is that the OP is looking for whiter, or is concerned that DC charters may be mostly/all AA.  OP then went on to ask which schools were whiter.  By actually giving statistics, it legitimizes the question.  To me, any person considering sending their kid to a DC charter who is naive/ignorant/prejudice enough to ask "Are charter schools predominantly AA?" obviously does not know the make up of DC demographically outside his/her little niche, and doesn't know who these schools serve.

If someone has the attitude of not wanting to go to a school that is predominantly AA, I dont' want to give them information because I don't want to honor that attitude with an answer.  You have a right to feel that way; and I have a right to think you should stick to whatever other, predominantly white options you are, because you'd be toxic to a DC charter (no matter how diverse/majority white it is).[/quote]
