COLOR-BARRED STUDENT SHUT OUT BY SCHOOL'S RACE QUOTA

June 25, 2007 -- A Brooklyn mother and father got the shock of their lives when school officials informed them their brilliant 11-year-old girl was denied admission to an elite public school - solely because she's of Indian descent. "I feel bad because I would have gotten in if I was white," Nikita Rau lamented over her failed bid to attend the Mark Twain School, IS 239, in Coney Island, a magnet school for gifted students.

It turns out Mark Twain - unlike all but one other city public school - admits students according to racial quotas established in 1974 by a federal judge who ordered the school's desegregation.

Depends on the type. Lighter skinned and/or richer Indians are accepted that way, not all.

As far as Hindu Indians being accepted as "honorary whites"
I agree with you but even the dark ones who behave "middle class white" and do well economically are treated as honorary whites. They aren't speaking ebonics and they highly value education, push their children to do well

If you brought in some really dark uneducated Hindus from rural areas ..... Yes they would likely not get the "honorary white" treatment. But I don't see those people in America, they don't immigrate here, I only see them in magazines

Something similar happened to us a month ago in Florida.

We have a 13 year old son who had been homeschooled all his life til this last year. He achieve nothing but straight As all through 7th grade, his first year in the Public school. He even brought the middle school last place geography bee team to win in first place this May.

We wanted to sign him up for honors classes to prepare him for high school and college. School told us there are no honor classes in middle school but they had a gifted program. The school “psychologist” tested him and declined him from the program. This was a joke.

But wait, as daddy persisted they asked us, does you son received reduced or free lunch -— yes. That changed everything and he was re-tested and qualified.

THERE ARE QUOTAS. Proof once again here with our experience. Rich kids cannot qualify for the best education, they reserve places at the “expense of good students” for the “poor” ones too.

Sick society. More bad news for the white, well-off, male.

“Why can’t we all just be people?”

If we did that, all the race pimps would lose their livelyhoods.

But what even darker (Asian) Indians have going for themselves over native Blacks is:

They act white
They talk white
They have Caucasian facial features
They have white attitude
Indians have a reputation for being intelligent

Even most country bumpkins know this by now and know Indians are not Blacks with straight hair. In fact many small towns have Hindu Indian doctors
