[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My children attend a public school that is both affluent and diverse. There is a low grumble about how those high achievers at the school who are not white are held up on pedestals by the admins, receive 90% of the awards, and get into elite colleges with significantly lower grades and test scores than their white classmates. These students are just as wealthy as their white classmates, have highly educated parents and have had the same access to tutors and other enrichment, plus access to free summer programs at elite colleges and fully paid fly-in visits to colleges diversity recruitment weekends.

I understand this is a unique situation, but whenever anything is based exclusively on skin color, racial division in this country increases. [/quote]

It’s not at all unique. It’s absolutely the way it goes now. Women and people of color are the new privileged, at least in academic situations [/quote]

As a woman of color, it is news to me that i am now privileged. Thanks for letting me know, white person.

Y’all have to come up with more and more reasons why your kids aren’t the best anymore, don’t you? The entire American system was designed so you and your kids could always win and now globalization is changing things so you blame POC for now being advantaged? You just weren’t ever as smart or special as you thought. It was just privilege. [/quote]
