[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In McLean we have a lot of Asians in high performing schools along with whites. It isn't a racial thing it's a SES thing.[/quote]

Asians never get included in any sort of affirmative action accounting.  Neither do ethnic Jews.  It is not perceived as a disadvantage as far as the government and powers-that-be are concerned.  There are no racial quota set-asides for these groups.

(I am not making a value judgment, just stating a fact.)  The presence of Indians, Chinese, Koreans, Japanese, and Ashkenazi Jews is considered an indicator of high SES and high levels of education.[/quote]

BS that it's mainly "a SES thing."  Low-income East Asian children and teens in public schools perform about the same as high SES whites in math nationwide.   Look at the NAEP reports if you doubt this.  Where are you getting your data?  The issue isn't race, it's culture, namely Confucian ideals.  [/quote]

I don't know any Confucian Ashkenzi Jews, but Washington can be a small town in some ways...   ;)[/quote]
