[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i think what a lot of people are missing here is the mindset that you are either making an anti-racist decision, or you are making a racist decision.

Often, what white people consider to be the default or obvious choice is one that supports a racist, segregated country. It doesn't mean you are a member of the KKK, but it is still true. THAT is what the author is trying to get at, but bc it is a Brookings piece she can't be more obvious about driving home that conclusion.

to make it perfectly clear, moving to upper NW to be in a majority white elementary school and choosing a lesser quality charter to be with more white people are both decision that perpetuate that. They are all mildly racist white liberals. I live in Shaw, i have seen many many many people do that. I also have seen the white families who have remained in our EOTP DCPS for the duration -- they are people who are comfortable being a minority as a white person, who actively believe in integration, and who have a lot of faith in their children and aren't worried about them. The number of these people is growing every year. I hope this study does more to increase it.[/quote]
