[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought East-Asians have been over-represented since TJ opened in 1985.  It's just that there weren't that many Asians in Fairfax back then so TJ was mostly white until maybe 2012 or so.
The class of 2024 looks like East-Asians were definitely over-represented relative to the population in the county.[/quote]

That claim is inconsistent with math and the overall Census Statistics for the TJ catchment area (which is larger than just Fairfax County).[/quote]

Yeah but Fairfax County (at 20%) has the same or more asians that Loudon, Falls Church City, Prince William County or Arlington.  And even a brief perusal of any of the TJ yearbooks shows more than 20% of the students are east asian.  This is a strange claim that ewast asians are under-represented at TJ.  Indians might be MORE over-represented than east asians but you're not going to convince east asians that merit doesn't matter just because indians are outperforming them.[/quote]
