[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The answer is very simple.

FCPS should just eliminate all the newly introduced proxy-to-race factors such as geographic quota and experienced factors. One would argue it's not that difficult to administer a test. But given the laziness of FCPS admins, I don't think they would administer one.[/quote]

No the tests are proxies too is the problem.[/quote]

Hmmm that's the definition of racism. Are you implying URMs can't do well in tests?[/quote]

Given that they have less access to boutique expensive test prep opportunities because on balance they tend to have fewer resources, yes. Underrepresented groups (like, for example, poor Asians) can’t afford to send their kids to these companies to get a leg up on exams.[/quote]

However, "poor Asians" are doing extremely well on the entrance exam for the Stuyvesant. They don;t have money for classes or tutors so they study with a book. Almost all the Asian admittees are "poor". Another inconvenient truth. :D [/quote]

Stuyvesant is not TJ. A much higher percentage of the total applicants going for Stuy are low-income. Many of the wealthier kids applying for the NY elite public schools list others as their preference.

Bottom line is almost no poor Asians got in under the previous process and under the new process they were the biggest beneficiaries. More poor Asians admitted than total Black and total Hispanic students.[/quote]

Can you tell us where you are getting information on poor Asians benefiting from the new process? Is it the totally discredited FARMS self-identification?[/quote]

Citation from an official source where that information was discredited?[/quote]

Whoever made the original claim has burden of proof. [/quote]
