[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thing that really bothers me about racial quotas is that they're lumping groups together in a way that absolves them from including Latinx and AAs. In my kid's AAP classes, most of the Hispanic kids are white kids of Spanish origin and not Latinx. Likewise, most of the black kids are African immigrants and not African Americans. In both cases, it's kids from generally privileged groups taking spots that are nominally intended for underprivileged groups.[/quote] There is no quota in AAP, so there are no spots nominally intended for underprivileged kids. Also, my kid is black not AA and was in pool, but I'm sure people like you assumed she was filling some quota. Many of the kids of African immigrants at my kid's school are far from privileged. They live in apartment building wil other low income families. You really are making way too many assumptions. [/quote]
