[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, bringing up racist tropes while discussing the accessibility of STEM programs is hilarious. [/quote]

Yes, I see this all the time in the TJ threads. I have tried to point it out when it happens. Somebody thinks it’s very clever to refer to basketball/sneakers when we’re discussing fairness in the TJ application process.

Only racists see it that way.

Rest of us understand that different families have different priorities, some spend on basketball and others on academic enrichment, and few others like us on both.

Do only "racists" think this comment is racist?

[i]"The AP test industry is unethical, keeps stolen past exam questions compiled as practice tests out of reach of many potential and capable students. Instead of listing these products under sports category right next to basketball shoes, they created a separate category called Books. Imagine the outrageous difficulty that puts for underrepresented minorities (except asian americans) to reach these products." [/i]

Disturbing. How the heck can one person post so many racist messages? Hatred is a mental health disease [/quote]

Most of the test buying/prepping post refer to wealthy and educationally advantaged families. [/quote]
