[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]10:16,
your post makes me want to avoid all white ATS parents forever in case I come across you and your racism.

Do you really think your white kids pull up the brown kids scores? No. They VPI parents  and others who get their kids into ATS jumped through the same hoops you did. Furthermore, they are likely over educated for the jobs they have here if they are migrants.

Speaking as a white person who bought a house in south Arlington, I'm going to throw up if one more white person in north Arlington tells me that I did so because I wanted a nicer house than I could afford in north Arlington. I can't believe people who have paid a real estate premium of hundreds of thousands of dollars to ensure that they are districted for a neighborhood school that draws exclusively from an extremely affluent demographic have the nerve to criticize anyone else.

Well, as a white person in North Arlington, I guess we have nausea in common. If one more South Arlington person tells me that I paid a premium to buy my house so I "could be districted for a neighborhood school that draws exclusively from an extremely affluent demographic" I will be sick. You have no idea who I am, why I chose my house, what it cost, what my income is, or anything else about me for that matter. If I state that I wanted my kids to go to ATS in part for the diversity, and to avoid some of the "extremely affluent" kids,  how does that square with your negative, bigoted assumptions about me or my priorities for my kids?

I'm a white South Arlingtonian. If another white North Arlingtonian tells me that I live in S. Arlington because I can't afford to live in N. Arlington I am going to be sick. [b]You don't know what our HHI is[/b]. [/quote]

Right? It strains the bounds of credulity for a lot of folks, but that says more about them than it does about me. [/quote]
