[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dont know if OP is in MC or not.  Yes, there is a trend to discredit Asian families and Asian students in MCPS, mostly by central office.  They don't like to see the academic success achieved by Adian students because it posts challege to white students and contributes to the achievement gap.  The white parents are unsetting because their snowflakes are not the best students in the schools anymore .  Asian students also broke the myth that minority students have bad grades in school because of the white privileges. [/quote]

The Asian American stereotype has been around ever since I was a kid in the 1980s and I grew up in Maryland. And it goes much further back. It has nothing to do with "white privilege."

The real anger, if there is one, is how a minority and technically "people of color" and this includes South Asians, can succeed and dominate academically despite being "people of color." And the anger is not coming from white people but from African American social warriors who attribute the lagging averages for AA students to racial discrimination. You see this attitude on this forum all the time. A school that has a high percentage of Asian and South Asian intake is still not "diverse" because it still doesn't have many AA students. It's contradictory but it tells you quite a bit how racial politics are played and defined in this country. [/quote]
