I totally agree with that.  
I thought I was responding to a claim that there was an increase in poor asian kids.

Yeah, noone honestly thinks that this change was because they thought that the tests were compromised.  
That's just something racists say because they want to call asians cheaters.
It used to be the white supremacists saying this about jews.
Then it was salty racists saying this about east asians.
And now it's progressives saying this about indians.
It's all coming from the same ugly impulse in human nature. [/quote]

They did think the tests were compromised.  Tbh, you sound like you just came to Nova in the past year or two and are totally unaware of everything that happened before you came here.  It's strange.[/quote]

They thought the concept of testing was compromised in the "tests are racist" sense.
Brabrand talked about "pay to play" but of course if that were true, places like TJ would have far more white kids.

But white kids aren't applying to TJ in droves so they DGAF about prepping. IIRC only ~50% of eligible white kids apply vs. 99% of eligible Asian kids (FWIW black kids had a high % too).

It's common knowledge in my affluent area that test prep was available. If more white people wanted TJ they'd make it happen. But many families don't want the uber-competitive environment for their kids.
