"The Asians and Jews in NYC naturally pursue intellectual interests.Are you saying the genetics plays a part here? eh? "That's why they are going to make up a larger percentage of Stuyvesant while blacks and Latinos are less than 5%." Are you saying the Blacks and Hispanic kids are somehow dumb? If you read the article the way any normal person would you would see that is states that Blacks and Hispanics were not pushed into taking the exams OR advised to take prep courses. If they did, the story would be significantly different. Get it? eh? "The same people who complain about the cost of prep courses are the ones who find the money for Jay-Z/Kanye West tour and other intellectual pursuits. " Sure.....all the folks living in poor ass areas of NYC are just dying to spend their money on those concerts....what a loser you really turned out to be. Take for example East New York, Brooklyn. Take a walk around there and you won't find 2 dozen or so prep course academies like you would in Flushing. "They should not be demonized by the NY Times." Demonized? that's a rather HARSH word there....which the NYTIMES does not use there. They are merely pointing out that Blacks and Hispanics are at a disadvantage because the schools and the guidance personnel DO NOT stear these kids in the right direction to achieve success on these exams through prep course and some cases, they just flat out don't even care to mention that such an exam even exist for them to take it. You really SHOULD point that HARSH FINGER at the schools where these Black and Hispanic kids are attending! |
