well duh but the point is all of you value [b]educational quality over diversity[/b] it's not like you are seeking out a bunch of hispanic and african americans (not africans) for the sake of diversity is it.  If so you are as dumb as the while guilt folks.[/quote]

DP. You're the one saying that it's a trade-off, as though you can either have educational quality or diversity, but not both. Consider examining that assumption. Indeed, consider the possibility that diversity is a contributing factor to educational quality.

Also keep in mind that "diversity" does not mean "a bunch of Hispanic and African-Americans (not Africans)". It means diversity.

Definition of diversity
1 : the condition of having or being composed of differing elements : VARIETY
especially : the inclusion of different types of people (such as people of different races or cultures) in a group or organization
programs intended to promote diversity in schools
2 : an instance of being composed of differing elements or qualities : an instance of being diverse
a diversity of opinion

cmon now get a clue.  White and asian diversity who wouldn't want that.  The diversity being pushed down peoples throats is somehow they should feel guilty about not wanting to be with low performing african americans (not africans) and hispanics.

and to the grammar nazi go f yourself[/quote]

DP here. I'm Asian and wanted black kids and Hispanic kids in my children's school regardless of socioeconomic background. I feel like my kids ability to  get along with people from all walks of life is critical to their future. It's unbelievable that in this area I still come across people, people who attended higly rated schools or private schools,  who literally get uncomfortable interacting with a group of black people.[/quote]
+1 I'm also an Asian American parent, and we too wanted our children to see successful and smart black and hispanic people and not grow up with a stereotype of certain racial groups.

If you look at some of the non W school clusters like Northwest and RM (non IB, look at JWMS), you'd see that there are a fair amount of Asian Americans in those cluster. And believe it or not, some of us can actually afford to live in a W cluster but choose not to for one reason or another.[/quote]

Please highlight these schools with lots of blacks and Hispanics in top classes.  If anything in most diverse schools it's mostly just whites Asians and Africans with mostly Hispanics and African Americans in lower classes which just furthers stereotypes.[/quote]

The private schools.  Educated, successful blacks and Latinos send their kids there so that teacher grading biases or underperformance generalizations are minimized.

And yes, going to a wheaton magnet program where the overall school has 30-40% proficiency rates for Hispanics and AA does three things: Makes it socially awkward for intelligent, hardworking AAs in particulate; reinforces racial intelligence and work ethic stereotypes, ; and delays the meeting for intelligent hard working AA or Central Americans/Mexicans until college (at which point one would assume that affirmative action crutch is lifting one up.

Frankly makes the case for differentiation across the board. Mcps should not be losing so many intelligent AAs to private schools.

Yep.  We are AA and considering private for our kids.

I want to add that I find some of the comments from white people and immigrants (including African immigrants)  towards AA to be pretty disgusting,  both here on this forum and in real life.

Many of you need to revisit the history of the United States and in particular, the continued suppression of AA from slavery,  to segregation to discrimination.

In 2019 I think that's a very stretch argument.  As a successful aa yourself  you know it's possible to be successful.  The issues continuing to plague aa are self inflicted including rampant consumerism fear of acting white and not valuing the importance of education[/quote]

As a successful AA,  I understand that your statement is bullshit...as I'm sure you are aware.

Read a book or find yourself an AA friend, if they will have you, that is. [/quote]
