[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi, I’m looking to purchase a home either in McLean or Vienna. For purposes of AAP and beyond (college acceptances etc) does it really matter which school district my kid attends. Considering Langley or McLean High in McLean and Madison and Oakton High in Vienna. Is AAP any different or harder?[/quote]

Are you / your child BIPOC?

McLean HS is majority-BIPOCs.  Also, the new principal is a BIPOC, in case these are important factors in deciding if your child should come to McLean (which is a GREAT school!).   I recommend it.[/quote]

McLean is majority minority, as are Langley and Oakton.  It is not majority BIPOC.  [/quote]

I don't understand what you are saying.

He's saying that Asians aren't really BIPOC.  BIPOC is mostly just black and american indian, maybe some latinos with heavy indigenous ancestry.  
White hispanics and asians are not BIPOC.[/quote]

Asians absolutely are BIPOCs.[/quote]

No, not really.  Its more of a black and indigenous focused acronym.[/quote]

Why do you post falsehoods and lies on DCUM? [/quote]

I'm assuming you're acting in good faith and just ignorant

BIPOC is an acronym for:

Black, Indigenous and People of Color.

"a term used to highlight the unique experiences and struggles of Black and Indigenous communities, differentiating them from other groups of color, especially within the context of systemic racism in the United States. It serves as a more specific umbrella term than "People of Color" (POC), acknowledging that Black and Indigenous people have specific histories (slavery, genocide, colonialism) that shape their experiences with oppression"

I know some people are trying to redefine it to mean People of Color but we already had that term, the reason they added the BI in front of the POC was to highlight black and indigenous experience.[/quote]
