[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because an average SAT score, GPA, and AP tests passed says nothing about how individual kids (your kid, my kid) will do at the school. If you don't want to send your kid there, fine. More spots for those of us who want them. [/quote]

Which is hilarious because people in here go on and on and on about data. Until that school has above 95% minority and then "it's not good for my child".

People in this forum aren't fooling anyone. It almost always comes down to racism, even if the poster doesn't go around using racist terms out loud. The reason why more white people dont look at Banneker is racism pure and simple. [/quote]

Kind of like how "white people" aren't flocking to enroll in historically black colleges.  Racists!!  Or why black folks continue to enroll in historically black colleges rather than choose more diverse campuses.  We have a plague of racists everywhere, BAD!![/quote]

If it makes you look better. The problem with your analogy is it with college choice, families have a choice, often with better colleges. In DC, there aren't a plethora of good high schools. In fact, white families are CHOOSING inferior high schools (Latin).[/quote]

Yes exactly

but people here can keep convincing themselves they are progressive and "would NEVER" be racist. Eye roll. [/quote]
