[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Former Soviet Union immigrants are on a par with Asians in achievement in instrumental music. Like Asians, they gravitate to suburban schools with strong math and chess teams and orchestras and bands.

My Asian immigrant parents and grandparents could have absolutely cared less if my siblings and I, and our children, attend public schools with low-income AAs and Latinos. They had far too many of their own problems in East Asia, wars, dictatorship, ancestral lands confiscated, famine etc. Privately, I don't care much myself (and I worked as a Dem Congressional staffer for years).  [b]Good white liberals don't really get East Asian immigrants.[/b]

They don't get ANY immigrants, they are too busy renaming Latino population into latinx and getting offended on everyone's behalf. [/quote]
Generally speaking, immigrants, wherever they're from, have pretty different priorities when it comes to education compared to the type of people who wring their hands about diversity on boards like DCUM.

The average Indian, Nigerian, Chinese or Polish immigrant is only interested in getting their kids into the best school they can, so that they can get the best education and go to the best University. They don't give a single thought about any other kid than their own.

Which is as it should be.  [/quote]
