[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no idea why the focus is on the behavior of white parents in the 60s when we can see Asian families today using every tool in the book to preserve their kids’ dominance at selective magnet schools like Stuyvesant and TJHSST.  It obviously is not the case that white parents are the only ones trying to maximize their own kids’ advantages.[/quote]
The 60’s was 60 years ago. New examples please. And also we are all humans who suffer from a negative bias. If there are examples to the contrary our brains tend to ignore those examples because it doesn’t fit with what we have already assumed to be true of white patents. I’m sorry but this is really bullshit in so many areas. Yes, there are quite a few people Who try to use the system to their advantage but they are not ALL whites people and white people as a whole should not be viewed this way. A minority group such as African Americans as a whole are roughly 13 percent of the population so it would be impossible for there to be AA people in all gifted classrooms across the country, etc even if all tested into them. It gets tiring to hear things twisted and made into bigotry that isn’t. There is a lot of bigotry and racism in this country, making assumptions and generalizations about any racial group doesn’t help.[/quote]
