West Roxbury residents are more likely than any other Boston neighborhood to vote trump, they have higher incomes, they are whiter, stores are expensive, and they are pretty damn Irish. If this was an assignment about neighborhood stereotypes the kid absolutely aced it. Its not like he just made things up.

A grown man coming and taking a picture of an 8th grader assignment and posting it in his circle jerk FB group is- and don't mince or confuse my words here- a L O S E R. Does everyone follow?

He actually proves the kid right, lol.

A bad assignment that was bound to be offensive.. Teachers should do better.

this was actually the assignment. So I imagine it happened and no grown man logged onto the internet to cry.

Farrakhan was, ironically, admitted to BLS. Graduated from English, but started at Latin. Racist and anti-semite, but no dummy.

West roxbury is mostly white but i think you'll find a mix of people who voted for Trump/Biden. There are older white Irish Republicans and cops there that probably did...but then there are some younger liberals who likely didnt.

I think the point is that the 8th graders are profiling the neighborhood. Why? Wow way to teach them. When i was in the 8th grade i wasnt thinking about who voted for who. And whoever these 8th graders are they're being highly encouraged by their parents.

Its called self-awareness and civic engagement.

Nah it’s actually racism and discrimination my friend. Judging an entire neighborhood and assuming they are all racist Trump supporters? Good lord. If that’s not discrimination what is it ?
