Not really; the problem is the racist attitude of many at TJ. That any black or Hispanic student is only there because of affirmative action.[/quote]

Having affirmative action to admit more blacks and Hispanics would tend to reinforce that assumption.[/quote]

It doesn't matter if it's reinforced. If the attitude already existed when it wasn't true, at least now they're reaping the benefits of an actual process that's in place.

And besides, there's literally no way to know for sure why a student got into TJ under the new process. There are probably kids in the most recent classes who came from the AAP program at Rachel Carson who got an allocated space because of their FARMS status.

And undoubtedly - just as there used to be every year under the old process - there are kids who come from historically underrepresented schools who would have gotten in irrespective of the existence of allocated spaces. There are simply more of them now.

To make an assumption about how a kid got in purely because of where they came from, while you might be statistically likely to be right, is useless because you might be wrong AND you're trying to use it as a strike against that kid.[/quote]
