[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do all u people who are so critical of affirmative action imagine that. Black kids at Sidwell or  St Albans. Are not subjected to racism. Let me tell you that a black student is at risk for being harassed by the police, discriminated against in the classroom and being flamed by a.. Holes on DCUM as any other black
Kid. Racism is alive and well and this forum demonstrates it daily[/quote]'

Schools like Sidwell and St. Albans are perfect for first generation wealthy (doctor/lawyer level) minorities - they will then have the total package and will have a good chance at attending an Ivy.  An upper middle class white male from one of these schools needs to be totally connected to get into an Ivy league school, with a last name that is a hotel chain, a family that includes presidents, or the like.  Otherwise, he'd do better at Wilson and play the odds that he will be looked favorably upon as attending an "inner city" school and has taken lots of AP courses and rowed track.  [/quote]
