[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, POC can be racist too. They can also have legitimate reasons, like teachers not challenging their kids well because of stereotypes. When white people turn around and say "but POC do it too", it's justification for racist bias. Try this exercise: if large numbers of middle class black people were sending their kids to a school with mostly black students, do you think that would change the minds of most white parents here? Or would they come up with other reasons? See discussion of Shepherd and Banneker.[/quote] Only black parents can have legitimate reasons?[/quote] DP. I don't think that's what the PP is saying. However, there are definitely patterns in the data that are there for anyone to see. For example, look at past threads where posters discuss with bated breath whether and when Shepherd will "flip," so that they can feel comfortable sending their own kids there.[/quote]
