Yes, the DOE clearly states that they can perform home visits. And it is also true that the DOE delays things all the time. This could have happened to anyone.

Pretty much, yes. There is no reason to treat them any special way other than them as an individual person.

If you have a real example and don't want to accept it, then why ask. No this didn't just happen to anyone.

Stereotyping shouldn't happen but it does.

European Meditteraneans are definitely white.

"WASP" is meaningless today because there are many Jews and Catholics among wealthy whites. What percentage of the whites in NYC are even "Anglo Saxon"?

No, I had to take ESL class in elementary school and afterwards they stop teaching in Spanish at school until high school when you have to take a secondary language to graduate. Over time I began to favor English, my Spanish is not good enough for a professional environment.
