[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So the lottery is racist? If so, who is responsible? Who decided to use a lottery system?[/quote]

Random chance clearly has a racial bias[/quote]

I think it’s funny to be lectured to by people on this forum, probably most white middle or upper class people, about how racist they are to use their brains to pick the good schools in the dc lottery, objectively based on test scores and the probability that the school will prepare child to go to college, when they themselves probably have their children in private school or a “good” public school. Like it’s comically stupid to listen the woke scolding of hypocrites. It’s so easy for you to pontificate on racial equity when you yourselves do the same fking thing.[/quote]

So is the lottery racist or not?[/quote]

Staggered entry years for middle and high school are not great, no. You can set up the rules of a lottery however you want (well, charters within the federal law that limits them), and those rules an be more or less inclusive. It’s not neutral. Also, I have no idea if the rules have racist intent, but in some cases there seem to be systemically racist outcomes.[/quote]
