You have reading comprehension issues. We have already established that this is where the poors move when they can't afford Bethesda.  :roll: [b] I would like my FARM and high SES to be evenly distributed across all ethnic groups[/b]. 1sts we are comparing Sherwood with WJ which has even less SES diversity than Sherwood. Sherwood has 15% FARM but the FARM kids are also white. When you pass the cafeteria and see all the kids getting free breakfast, they are not all people of color. They are all types of kids in the school. Yes there are poor white people... that is the "message". Whether you realize it or not. You are creating a conscious child and a child with a subconscious... having a negative image of people of color (all being poor) creates a subconscious that poor = people of color and it will affect the way they act for the rest of their lives towards people of color. Read about "think slicing" if you are unaware of this.[/quote]

And I would like the moon to be brighter. However, it's not, and FARMS and high SES are not evenly distributed across all ethnic groups. It is a valid argument that if children only ever see affluent, educated white and Asian people and poor, uneducated everybody-else people, then they will believe that white and Asian people are affluent and educated and everybody-else people are poor and uneducated. It is also a valid argument that if children only ever see affluent, educated people, then they will have a very skewed view of US society. In fact, they may grow up to be people who do things like post on DCUM about how they are just barely getting by on $250,000 a year and about how anybody can afford an $800,000 house in Bethesda if they only work hard enough and have good values.[/quote]
