[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am pretty sure that when Hardy hits 50% IB (narrowly defined), whenever that is, it will STILL have a higher percentage of african americans than Deal does, and a higher percent than the private schools in the area, and a higher percentage than the middle schools in MoCo, Fairfax, and North Arlington that many leave DC for.

If folks prefering that are racist, its racist with an asterisk. [/quote]

This is a discussion of a theoretical 50% Hardy IB world that does not exist.  So sure, I agree with you that in this pretend world you have created, any racism should be marked with an asterisk.[/quote]

The 50% is IIUC the goal for Hardy, and its progess toward that goal that this entire thread is about, and people are sayig they want to know that Hardy is making such progress.    And I cedrtainly did not say ANY racism should be marked with an asterisk - I said that the racism of someone who is okay with a heavily african american school for their kids, as long as it is 50% IB to a high SES (and yes, mostly white) area, is racism with an asterisk - its a more liberal racial attitude than that held by most white Americans, and perhaps by most suburbanites from this area.
