...fuming about new admissions data that showed Asians dominating the controversial test once again

Asians comprised 53.7 percent of those admitted, whites 27.9, Hispanics 5.4, and African-Americans 3.6.

Others also note that many of the immigrant Asian groups that predominate at the eight schools come from low-income backgrounds rather than privilege.

Only 8 of 749 offers — or one percent — went to Black students,

Perhaps some groups do not work hard?

And here is a near mirror image... he NBA in 2020 was composed of 74.2 percent black players, 16.9 percent white players, 2.2 percent Latino players of any race, and 0.4 percent Asian players. There were 6.3 percent of the players classified as "other" races.

The Asian student outcomes we see year after year aren’t the result of luck or “privilege.” They stem from hard work and a culture that prioritizes learning. Research shows that Asian kids read more books, watch less television, and study longer. In poorer families, money goes toward test-prep instead of $200 sneakers. The results are obvious at elite schools nationwide, where even low-income Asian students have outperformed middle- and upper-income students from other groups. “For Chinese immigrants,” Ms. Hymowitz writes, “education for the next generation is close to a religion. It opens the path to a good life.”

In 1989, Brooklyn Tech’s student body was 51% black and Hispanic. Today, it’s less than 12%

“In short, over a period of 33 years, the proportion of blacks gaining admission to Stuyvesant High School fell to just under one-tenth of what it had been before,” Mr. Sowell writes in “Wealth, Poverty and Politics.” “None of the usual explanations of racial disparities—racism, poverty or ‘a legacy of slavery’—can explain this major retrogression over time.”

So can we call for the end of basketball scores because blacks dominate?

What a complete jerkoff.

And yes, ladies and gentlemen (only two sexes, liberal dumbasses), the chanceller is one for NYC PUBLIK SKOOLZ.

Well, we already know these schools are collections of idiocy, so the asians, being superior, will simply send their chilluns (intentional spelling) to a real (e.g., private) school

Let’s all rush to the lowest dominator, because of racism (tm). And let’s become weaker because of it. Because REAL Communist nations (Ie China and Russia) don’t give a crap about “Structural Racism” and 50+ genders. So don’t Islamist countries.

It’s not the schools, it is the parents…

It is not the parents, it is the broken family…

It is not the broken family, it is the oppressive divorce/marriage rules that the democrats set up.

—” it is the oppressive divorce/marriage rules that the democrats set up.”

And a larger welfare check without a father in the house.

When my daughter was at college studying biology, she did a lot of summer tutoring of high school kids and made a lot of money. A lot of her customers were Asian families and she would say “These kids are so smart, they don’t need me tutoring them.” She asked her student’s parents “Why am I tutoring your kid? He/she is so smart!”

The parents inevitably replied “We don’t want him/her starting back in September having forgotten anything.” The tutoring was just constant refresher drill for the kids, not for teaching them anything new. That was a real eye-opener.

What? The woke NBA has no trans players?

***********************************************
Yes, fix the bad schools (IMHO, that will not happen - dumbing down is their agenda). But what really needs to be fixed are the homes/families and, sadly, that’s highly unlikely to occur since VICTIMHOOD is now highly sought after.

Te Black Population has Digressed since the 60’s, an amazing turnaround from the advances they made up until the Jumped Back on the Democrat Plantation when MLK Jr was Killed.
