[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]both plus protection from low expectations.[/quote] Yeah - it’s just a tricky dynamic trying to negotiate being a high-SES/ performing black kid outlier in a sea low-SES but same race peers. It’s survivable, but I wouldn’t subject my kid to that if I had better options. [/quote] I just took issue with someone who called it "quite racist" for white folks to not understand the world through a black lens. I think PP's concern about lowered expectations for high performing, UMC POC illustrates the problem with calling racist white folks failing to see the world through POC's lens. There is no one lens. When you at once complain that (1) white folks need to see the world through the lens of POC and (2) indict people for seeing all POC the same way, you create a construct that causes well meaning people to throw their hands up and say "Eff it". Then you lose allies you need when the real racist and discriminatory stuff happens. [/quote]
