But it would match the country[b]. We don't live in Nigeria, despite of what some folks seem to think.[/quote][/b]

[b]And we don't live in Wyoming or Idaho either[/b], despite what some folks seem to think. [/quote]

Correct. We live in the [b]capital [/b]of a country called the USA, despite what some folks seem to think.

Demographics of said country: 64% white, 16% Latino, 12% black, 4% Asian.[/quote]

That's not the demographics of this city. Are you confused?  Do you not know the difference between a country, state, and city?[/quote]

Lady, I am American way before I even think of my skin color or the name of whatever city I live in (yes, have been a few). To me, the argument that gifted programs "Won't happen because the racial makeup wouldn't match the city" is plain stupid -- may be realistic, given the provincial politics in DC, but still a plain stupid argument to develop educational policy.

And, if you want to play local demographics -  fine. Look up the racial make-up in NW and NE.
