Most people prefer racially homogenous schools, though. [/quote]

Says who?[/quote]

Not PP, but says decades of social science research on why white people consider 10% kids of color to be the "tipping point."

HOWEVER, just because growing up in a deeply white supremacist society has made white people fear PoC does not mean we should give up on integration. We just need to try harder. [/quote]

So "most people prefer racially homogeneous schools" actually means "white people prefer schools where most people are white"?[/quote]

Sure. But it also means that "black people prefer schools where most people are black" and "Hispanic people prefer schools that are majority Hispanic."

All of this talk in busing in Arlington, for example, never even asks what people in Four Mile Run wanted -- it was just assumed that they would be overjoyed to put their children on a bus to Yorktown HS. And look at who made the assumptions. And the one time James Lander -- a black man, mind you -- raised the suggestion that minority communities might not be thrilled with busing, either, people lost their shit.[/quote]
