If the minority students don't have the access to the Internet white and Asian students have, at no more than $500 for a new desk top computer, it's the fault of the inotiry students' parents who choose to make other purchasing choices, not a result of racism.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned that internet access is available in public libraries.

It would be, if only the pedophiles wouldn't hog all the terminals...
I'm going to add the customary [/s] tag here, but I wouldn't be surprised if my smart-ass comment was actually correct.

But there is still a gap, and we need to find a way to address it... Addressed and solved... it's called a library. Last time I checked, there were computers in there.

What? The same liberals who cry over blacks not having computers are the reason why public libraries aren't safe for kids?
Interesting how liberals keep creating problems with stupidity, and then try to solve them with other people's money.

58 percent of Asian children and 47 percent of American Indian ...total of 54 percent of white students use the Internet at homeAsians and Indians are minorities as well. Asians surpass whites in access and American Indians have a higher percentage than Blacks and Hispanics. Being a minority does not seem to be the most significant variable. It is more economic and cultural than anything else.

What's the barrier to black students using the Internet?
Beats me . . . I'm still trying to figure out what "cultural reluctance" could possibly mean in this context.

1920 - the Telephone Gap
1935 - The Radio Gap
1955 - The TV Gap
1975 - The Color TV Gap
1981 - The CD Gap
1994 to Present - The Tech Gap
I think this one's got the legs so far. Where's the guy with the NTSA poster?

In order to use the Internet, it helps if one is able to read. This is part of the reason for the gap
