[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Asians are often considered “white adjacent.”

I’m not sure how the success of black immigrants gets explained.[/quote]

Black immigrants from Africa and the Caribbean come from upper middle class and educated professionals, not the poor laborers and servants there. You racists always ignore the huge advancements of U.S. blacks since partial enforcement of civil rights. There has been a huge increase in bachelors, masters, and professional degrees and incomes and standards of living. [/quote]

That can't be right. To hear the anti-racists tell it, nothing has gotten better for Black people since the Founding. [/quote]

Of course things have gotten better, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t many challenges still. Things have also gotten better for women but they still are behind men in many ways, such as representation in government, and they still make less than men on average—82 cents for every dollar a man makes. So should we as a society stop striving for more equality because “things have gotten better”?

Strive as you wish for the magic “equality” that you cannot define.   The sad fact is that our country is sliding away from equality as our educational standards are weakened by the woke who believe leveling will make us better when  the opposite is true.   Kids strong in humanities and weak in math and science cannot become adults who sustain our economy. [/quote]

I know you love throwing out the word woke like it makes you cool or something, but your comment is dumb.  Just because someone is woke (which you have no idea what that means) does not mean that we want to lower our educational standards.  At the same time, the truth is, the world does not revolve around math and science.  I work for a think tank.  I need kids who write well - which is difficult to find b/c everyone is so focused on math and science.  They can't think their way out of a paper bag but they can do math.  Steve Jobs was a psychology major.[/quote]

Your post seems either somewhat naiive or disingenuous.
 
1) is lowering the bar for entrance to an ap class, or ending ap classes altogether, not lowering educational standards?

2) the world literally does revolve around math and science. We will lose the space race, AI, tech and all this other stuff if we just lower academic rigor and let anyone in to any class at all times. We need qualified citizens.[/quote]
