As an Asian-American (who grew up low-income), I have yet to experience any white privilege. It really irks me that MCPS lumps Asian kids with white kids.

Why does MCPS have to suppress one group of kids in order to elevate another? My oldest is a 1st grader, so learning about how MCPS operates has been pretty eye-opening.

Racism has been normalized in this country since July 4, 1776.

Ever hear of the 1619 project?

The USA is the least racist country in the world. All other countries are far more racist. I’m so proud of the United States for being better than every other country in every way.

I have no idea what your post is supposed to mean. My kids are American. English is their only language. Well, my HSer knows some Spanish now, and my MSer knows some French.

And there is such a thing as "Asian" culture, or European culture. We've had this discussion before on this forum.

Are you a white person trying to tell Asian people that there is no such thing as "Asian" culture? Most Asians I know (and I know plenty) agree that there is such a thing as "Asian" culture, just as there is such a thing as "Latin" culture.

There isn't such a thing as "Latin" culture either.

Or "European" culture, except what has developed in the past few decades through the EU, which half of people in England have now decided they want no part of.

yes, there is. I have heard Hispanic people use the term, too.

As an Asian person, I use the term " Asian culture". My spouse who is European, uses the term "western European culture", or "southern European culture" vs "northern European culture".

MCPS doesn't seem to care. If they were really listening they would know kids are turning on other kids due to race because the district has been so opaque about how it goes about ensuring equity. It is creating a lot of resentment and it is the students who are suffering.

If kids are turning on other kids, then you need to look at what those kids are hearing at home.

Just based on DCUM alone, there is overwhelming racism, bias, stereotyping, and xenophobia against Asians that goes completely unchecked and is supported by the woke crowd.

So yes, the kids of these DCUM parents are definitely hearing and learning how to cherry pick racism and justify it.
