[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Not pp but your last point is too difficult to wrap your arms around. I've yet to meet a Salvadorean teacher in MCPS but let's say you have a Cuban teacher in a classroom of Salvadorean kids. Is that beneficial? Are they the same ethnicity, not really.... Hispanic doesn't mean much in this context.[/quote] It's certainly true that "Hispanic" is not a monolith. And maybe a kid whose family is from El Salvador would consider a teacher whose family is from Cuba to be just as "them, not us" as a teacher whose family is from Norway (or whatever). But maybe the kid wouldn't. And then there is the question of the opinion of white people. Certainly the majority opinion on DCUM (i.e., affluent non-Hispanic white people) seems to be that all Hispanic people are alike (and equally unqualified for academics).[/quote]
