African-American students made up 36 percent of the enrollment and 7 percent of the children who received gifted education.

BS. or for the bilingual Freepers, El Toro Poo-poo

If we were to expand these statistics, they would have us believe that 19.4% of the population is 'gifted'. Really? 19.4% of the Black population are considered 'gifted'? If I said that nearly 1:5 white students were 'gifted' I'd be lamblasted as a racist fraud, and justifiably so.

So, is the author a liar, or a racist? Or, do the definitions of 'gifted' as the term applies to a minority mean 'average' when compared to the general population?

I'm not gifted, so I'm going to need some help with your math...
