[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just White does not equate to diversity. I would love people other than white people to come to DC. [/quote]

Well, they aren’t, are they? Wonder if being overlooked or ignored has anything to do with that? Or wanting a functional public school system?

Hispanics and non-white Hispanics are, so I’m not sure what you mean by they aren’t coming. I am just from an area where there are whites, non-white hispanic people, Asian, black, middle eastern, etc.

And they are not overlooked. I’m not sure why it would be hard for you to get why most whites wouldn’t be the focus (in education) in a world where having light skin is a privilege.
 
And please do not act like having money is not a privilege either, regardless of ethnicity. DC focuses on black then hispanic because of the poverty and lack of opportunities many experience. 
If you’ve ever felt you have been overlooked simply due to whiteness that is only a fraction of what POC can feel all their lives.

If this conversation had been framed in a way that was not focused on whiteness but focusing on opportunities and public options for families aren’t below the poverty line, I would have agreed with the thread. We should want to keep all families here and have children interact with each other no matter the SES. However, when whiteness is the main concern I can only look upon that disdainfully and see the innate prejudices some of you have.[/quote]
