[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most people that buy in good schools are not wealthy.  They do in fact stretch to buy property there and sacrifice in other areas to send their kids to those schools.  Its a slap in the face to people who prioritize Where their kids go to school [/quote]

Here is a a post that implies people in West county are better and should not be mixed with other types of people because it would be a "slap in the face"[/quote]

Work on your reading comprehension then. [/quote]

I mean I'm not going to partner in developing solutions with someone who thinks the above. Sounds like you think what they said is ok so I also don't want to partner with you. I am going to advocate for what is best for me and my family, not yours.[/quote]

Person was responding to some one calling families in Old Farm wealthy and their ability to easily move. Not sure how you tied that comment with Black/Brown/White/Asian etc.

Also, it's an anonymous forum. All kinds of views will come. Focus on positive comments. Some derogatory comments gets thrown by posters from different regions towards each other. It may be 2-3 nasty posters from different sides, but on other hands vast majority of posters simply want to have a meanigful discussion and get ideas from all sides to figure out the best solution.

You are free to share ideas to make situation better or not, its your choice. I will suggest ignoring nasty comments. Focusing on that simply feeds the trolls.[/quote]

What I'm taking away from your post is that you think people who want segregation are on the fringe, and I disagree with that. I think lots of people benefit from segregation, know it, and want to maintain it even if they don't want to call it that.[/quote]

Should I generalize nasty comments by some DCC posters in this thread towards everyone from DCC? I don't think that's a right approach.

I'm not generalizing at all. I don't think everyone from west county thinks this way but I think a fair amount absolutely do. I'd guess at least a third. I've literally heard their kids talk about what they hear their parents say.[/quote]

You do a lot of generalizing.

I think you should pause for a moment and ask yourself how you benefit from disparaging entire groups of people based on anonymous comments on the internet, which frankly could be trolls. Does it feed your ego in some way? What is it? Figure it out and reflect on how you can more effectively advance the causes you care about.[/quote]
