[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The whole revision was based on a goal of increasing the numbers of black and hispanic students.  Just because they added a sentence in the motion saying the new plan is race-neutra doesn’t make it so.[/quote]

[b]Though, actually, the group that will increase the most from the changes are White students. Making Asians the ones with the most to lose is a major win for White people[/b]. [/quote]

This.  All this blame aimed at black and Hispanic students, when it's WHITE students who will benefit the most. [/quote]

I mean, this would be true if white folks were actually interested in sending their kids to TJ. They're not, for the most part. White applications have dropped by more than 50% in the past 8 years.[/quote]

I know white parents whose older kids didn't apply in prior years whose younger kids are applying this year.  I also know an Asian family whose oldest went to TJ, middle one opted out despite being a stronger student than the first one and whose youngest is applying this year.  I think people are hoping their kids will be able to focus on STEM without being in what was perceived, rightly or wrongly, as a pressure cooker environment.  We'll see how the numbers turn out.  [/quote]

In other words:  Older white kids couldn't pass the test so didn't bother to apply, but now that the test is gone, the younger white kids are applying.  Middle Asian kid was probably popular and athletic and wanted to stay with his/her friends/teammates in his/her base school.  The youngest is a nerd like the eldest.[/quote]

Actually, the increasing number of people with attitudes like yours are the reason many whites have been avoiding TJ.[/quote]
