[And, oh, by the way, most Asians aren't going to gravitate towards the "underrepresented middle schools" in FCPS as frequently as gravitate even more towards the neighborhood pyramids that already have a reputation as more rigorous, so your social engineering incentives will fail from Day One.][/quote]

This is a classic liberal racist tactic. They are all nice as long as the Asians are below them. Once they start to see them doing better, all kinds of such comments are made. Book smart, good at taking tests, lack social skills and nuance, can't understand accents, only good at math etc etc. A constant drip drip of trying to undermine a group. I am talking from personal experience. Despite all the noise, we are still doing well. Thank you for the motivation. We see you.[/quote]

I won't use the word "liberal" because I think that people who exploit politics like this honestly don't care which party they're taking advantage of at the moment - plenty of good people identify as liberals. But yeah, huge double standards, I've seen it happen to me too.  The same "You're with us or against us" tactic that Dubya used to collect undue authority has become a left-wing "You're with us or you're RACIST" tactic.  People use it to get undue credit for knowing what they're talking about and shaping popular opinion.

People assume that if the enemy is "racism," there's no harm done and no bias invoked, but it still plays into people's biases. It's most likely to affect individuals who come from places stereotyped for human rights abuse (think China, Russia, or Arab nations).  That which students will ultimately be harmed by rampant unchecked bigoteering.[/quote]
