[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many many years ago as a 23 year old, I went to visit Frederick and I literally had a man in the middle of the street say to me, "Go back to Japan," while his friends laughed.  Given the lack of diversity in FCPS schools, I'm not at a place where I'm comfortable sending my kids there. [/quote]

This is one of the stupidest things I have ever read on DCUM, and there is a lot of stupidity on here.

FCPS is "White: 58.9%; Hispanic/ Latino: 17.1%; Black/African American: 12.5%; Asian: 5.5%; two or more races: 5.5%; American Indian/Alaskan Native: 0.3%; Pacific Islander/Native Hawaiian: 0.2%. "

MCPS is "African American: 23.4% American Indian: 0.3% Asian American: 15.7% Hispanic: 23.4% White: 37.2%"

You made it sound like FCPS is 99% white.... Looking around the state, Garrett County Public Schools is 98% white.  Carroll County is 92%.  Allegheny, Cecil, Queen Anne and Washington are also up there ahead of FCPS.  And if you are so adamant that the high white population is what caused a problem, why not send your kids to PG County Schools, where there are only 23% white kids?  Oh right.  Because the education there sucks...

Your anectodal story is from " many many years ago."  But just last year, in Anne Arundel County, In Montgomery County, someone hung a noose in the courtyard of a middle school.  In MCPS, a 13-year-old Jewish girl received several anti-Semitic texts. They said, among other things, “JNTD” — an acronym for Jews Need to Die.... But yes, your one anecdotal story about someone pointing out your Asian features 38 years ago is ABSOLUTELY a reason to shun the entire county and its people and schools.  :roll:  You must be so fun at parties.
