[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one who attends Stone Ridge is a true victim of anything. Those girls are life's winners. If they don't succeed or aren't happy in life, it won't be because of hidden "systemic" forces that have worked against them, it will be because they didn't take advantage of the opportunities before them.

I'm interested to know how systemic racism has played a part in enabling students to attend one of the most privileged schools in the area, with a price tag of $40K a year, when the vast majority of young people have to attend public school.[/quote]

Well, school is just one part of a person's life. And many times its the parents who have faced systemic racism and have overcome those obstacles to be able to send their daughter to Stone Ridge. Just because there are students of color at Stone Ridge does not mean these students and their families have not dealt with systemic racism at others schools, in the health care system, in the courts, trying to finance a mortgage or take out a small business loan, and so on.[/quote]

Montgomery County is majority-minority so those discriminatory courts, health care system, mortage brokers and bankers must be busy with all the discriminating they need to do![/quote]

The numbers for the 2020 Census are out, and Montgomery County clocked in as 53% white. The next biggest racial group is Black/African-American at 18.46%. So how exactly is MoCo majority miniority?

Full census data isn't out until September, but from last census:

Minorities have become a majority over the past decade in affluent Montgomery County as the number of whites has plummeted, according to census figures released Wednesday.

Barely 49 percent of Montgomery's 972,000 residents are non-Hispanic whites, down from almost 60 percent in 2000 and 72 percent a decade before that. Hispanics rose by two-thirds and make up about 17 percent of the county's population.

Then if you look at people who are not elderly (those tend to be more white), in other words people in school or in the workplace, and it's even more majority-minority.[/quote]
