As a recent white-Asian immigrant to the US, I want everyone to stop considering race and to focus solely on income disparities. It sucks to be a white or Asian person coming from generational poverty, because that's not a demographic that is recognized anywhere. It also sucks to be a poor Black or Hispanic person. The commonality is POVERTY, not race.

We need to move on from race, and focus on economic inequality.

For magnet vs home models... I think both can be done well, and that the devil is in the execution, not the location.

[b]Disparities by race are larger than disparities by income[/b]. Racism is real and has real impacts. You don't want policymakers to consider that. Fine. But that's your opinion, and many disagree with that.[/quote]

Do you have any data to support your claim. Or is it just your opinion. MoCo is one of the most liberal counties in the whole country. And yet, you are saying that even here race impacts everything.[/quote]
