[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a former New Yorker, I am shocked at the racism by some of the people on this website and in the metro DC area.  The comments on the "white sheet"  and  standardized testing were really uncalled for.  Raised in a very culturally diverse section of Queens, I am not used to the constant attitude that ALL white people have "white  privilege" that I see on this forum, and in the DC/MD area.)

I am a high school teacher (Btw I worked full-time right out of high school and put myself through college; I didn't qualify for low interest student loans or any other "aid", as I lived in my parent's home and they made "too much", even though I had to help with THEM with the bills. It took me almost 7 years to get my 4-yr degree; that was my "white privilege".)

Anyway, my experience has been that lower income people tend to raise children who come to school less prepared and with less respect for authority, than other children. Most teachers understand that a child raised in poverty (and many times abused) will behave quite differently than a child from other socioeconomic classes.

I do not know about TP, but I would not buy in an area with a lot of low income housing (or in an area with a big heroin problem)
Your ignorance is showing and I doubt you are from New York. It sounds like you don't understand "Privilege" and are all up in your feelings thinking someone got help you did not.
Get over it.
