[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone else find the title of this thread INCREDIBLY racist and offensive? [/quote] The racism is what drove and still drives the achievement gap. Discussing it isn't racist. [/quote] Well, that's one theory, but by no means clearly established.[/quote] Well, it's hard to avoid believing that it's at least partially true, at least for descendants of African-American slaves in the US. But it does NOT apply to many immigrants from low-income countries who do not have previous generations' access to quality state education, either. So, low-income, low-access to education is a common cause for low performance across low-performing ethnic groups, but the legacy of slavery is an intersectional cause for many American, low-income AAs. Anyone who ignores this reality should be criticized as non-caring, unpatriotic, and so forth, imo.[/quote]
