[quote=Anonymous]Where I live, there's a huge Russian community and, for the most part,  they highly value education, and their kids do a LOT of math and science enrichment, and going to TJ is a highly regarded achievement for which families prepare from a young age. I wouldn't be surprised if a big percentage of the white demographic is Russian. That said, and be honest with yourself, if the Russian community were bigger, and made up a majority of TJ, would you be making the same arguments about equity and the same disparaging statements about them as you do Asians? I think not. I think you would admire and aspire to be them. You wouldn't say they're trying to keep blacks and Hispanics out (which is such a silly argument anyway because who at TJ would really be thinking about doing that?? That is a systemic issue). You might think you're not racist and just making rational, equitable arguments, but I don't believe that for one minute. You don't like Asians. Admit it and just put on your white pointy hat for everyone to see. [/quote]
