Since someone was asking about TJ, that equally selective high school not far from Banneker...let me add their SAT scores.

This is an interesting post. There is a long thread in the VA public school forum about TJ's admissions. White posters have admitted that they no longer have interest in sending their children to TJ because it is majority Asain, and the current admissions is 75% Asian. At least one poster, maybe two, said that it was illegal and VA should not allow the school to be so Asain dominant. Other posters said that scores were'nt the most important factor and admissions should be more holistic and look beyond scores in its selection. Some posters opined that TJ's Asian dominant students were too one-dimensional for their white children.  It is evident that many whites in the liberal (in name only) DMV feel uncomfortable sending their children to a school where they would be in the racial minority.  It is also evident that many of these same people only consider academic scores important when it is advantageous to their children.

See the similarities in posters?  Or, are the same white people posting in both Banneker and TJ threads?[/quote]
