[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]

+1. AA here that has posted. My family has faced many of those disparities. Just because I can afford 40k tuition, doesn’t mean the cops haven’t pointed a gun at me during a traffic stop because my windows were tinted too dark, or I didn’t get pain medication during trips to the ER because they thought I was drug seeking and could handle the pain when it was actually appendicitis. Those are just examples off the top of my head.[/quote]
