[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay -- I have no in-depth knowledge of "the Saints" -- but just wanted to share the following --
Recently my car broke down in Accokeek, and I unexpectedly found myself in a Dunkin Doughnuts there for a while.  Three Saints students were dropped off there -- I asked them if they went to the Saints in Virginia, and they said yes.  I asked them about the length of the trip, and they said 45 minutes, but an hour and a half on the bus.  They were very polite, well-spoken African American boys.  I don't want to jump to conclusions, but they may be scholarship students, and this encounter raised my opinion of the school.  Clearly, not every student is local since at least one bus goes to P.G. County .[/quote]

This is stupid, you know there are several schools in Virginia with St. _________.  And they also have, get ready for it, African American students who are polite and well spoken.  Such as St. Christophers or STAB.  WTF poster?  You sounds like a crazy racist, because apparently only AA kids are on scholarship and live in PG County and can surprisingly have manners.  You are terrible.[/quote]

While I agree that the assumption that AA kids are on scholarship is stupid and appalling, I don't know of any other schools in the area where "Saints" is the team name. So generally, when someone asks "are you Saints" everyone knows they are talking about SSSAS.
