[quote=Anonymous]"for certain people, if you are not poor enough, you are not counted as part of diversity, regardless your ethnic background. " That is because for some reason the people that highlight disparities keep using race as the focus point rather than income. I very much disagree with this approach although it's true that a lot of the time race can serve as a decent stand-in proxy for income. But the child of a black lawyer is not coming from at all the same educational situation as the child of a black housekeeper. I think very few people nowadays - at least in MoCo - would oppose the first being in their school in sizable numbers while many would oppose sizable amounts of the latter type of kid. It's SES that matters most - not race when you're talking about educational issues.[/quote]
