[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A ratio (in absolute numbers) of 8 (AA) : 16 Whites to use your numbers.  This is a 1 to 2 ratio.  One AA for every 2 Whites.  Are there 1/2 as many AAs than Whites in the MCPS?  or Are there twice as many whites than Asians in our MCPS schools?  My friends tell me this ratio is higher in MCPS.  I have no skin in this game but there are more than twice the number of whites than Asians in MCPS schools. Therefore based on proportional representation Asians are potentially hurt the most in MCPS by the prohibitive policy.  Note the achievement gap was widening at the time the Post study was done so the adverse effect is likely worse today.  Just using your numbers and calculations here.  [/quote]

Ya know what? Proportionality doesn't matter, and I agree with the other PP who made this point. Heck, we can sit around and take 2nd derivatives and rates of change. But at the end of the day, what matters is the [b]absolute number of kids who are affected. [/b]  Are you seriously arguing that the white "old guard" is obsessing over "proportions" of affected kids and, in their insane vindictiveness, fail to realize their policies are hurting 16 white kids for every 8 Asian kids they hurt?

The question bears repeating: why would white MCPS leadership hurt twice as many of their own white progeny, in order to hold back half as many asians?

Somebody needs to answer this question. Otherwise, without a good answer to this, your theory truly does look crazy. To quote you: "we are still waiting for an answer."[/quote]
