[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]why does everyone assume that the poors are black? There are a lot of farms of all races, so it isn't racist to avoid high farm schools[/quote] As an abstract thought it is not racist to avoid schools with high percentage of FARMs students, because families that qualify for FARMs come in every color. In DC, the majority of families that qualify for FARMs, like the majority of students that attend DCPS, are AA. On these forums, it is often asserted that people use FARMs as a proxy for race and the real reason an individual does not want his/her child attending a school with a high percentage of FARMs is because it is likely to also have a high percentage of AA students. As an aside, I hate the phrase "the poors." Really rude and uncalled for.[/quote]
