So then why are you saying people are being racist for talking about race and magnets?[/quote]

What I said:

[quote]Lots and lots and lots of PPs: MCPS is planning to admit unqualified kids based on their belonging to certain races/ethnicities! 
The PP you're responding to: DCUM is defining people as "us" or "them" based on their belonging to certain races/ethnicities. 
You: Stop playing the race card![/quote]

Where did I call anybody a racist?

The point is that EVERYBODY is "playing the race card" -- at least in my definition of the phrase. Not just the PP who is talking about people categorizing "us" and "them" by race/ethnicity. But nobody accused the "MCPS is planning to admit unqualified kids based on their belonging to certain races/ethnicities!" posters of "playing the race card". Why not?

Because that is exactly what the MCPS wants to do. How can you be a racist when you are just speaking the truth and use common sense.
