[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are definitely racist Asian families in NoVa.  We had Indian neighbors who told us point blank they wouldn't send their kids to our neighborhood high school, which our kids were attending at the time, because they didn't like "the look" of the kids (who happened to be mostly black and Hispanic) walking to the school in the morning.  Their son got into TJ; when their daughter didn't get in, they sent her to private instead.

I have no idea why a county that supposedly cares about equity and "One Fairfax" would cater to such people.  It is simply appalling.

I will say this - we moved to the area and my daughter went to Carson. For the first few month she was upset that kids (she is in AAP) would not be friends with her because she is "not Asian". Eventually, she made friends - of all ethnicities. But I have heard point blank from some parents that my family is ok because even though I am white, I am a first generation immigrant. Call it what you will.

Pretty sure that "you're not like the rest of them" is just as demeaning when it's Asians referring to white immigrants as it is when it's people referring to black immigrants from Africa or the Caribbean vs AAs.

You can't eradicate such behavior, but the system at FCPS with TJ at the top nurtures it. [/quote]
