Your race is an evil as any other, and just as capable of bigotry.
Segments of our race are capable of Bigotry , but pure racism must come with oppression of the race " that the race with the superior technology dislike " the oppression ingredient is what missing in Black or African American Racists.

I would just point out the definition of racism "a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race".

Sure, but the vast majority dont.
Do NOT put both types of students in the same classes. The ones who can excel are severely hindered and very possibly irreparably harmed by the one-size-fits-all dumbed-down classes.

But why do we put those who want to excel in classrooms with those who couldn't care less?

Because educators don't think it's "fair" if some students achieve at higher levels than others. The "equal outcomes" philosophy that has decimated student achievement in the U.S. has been the overriding policy in U.S. education since the 1960s. Much more on that in this 1991 Atlantic magazine article written by a college prof. Pay particular attention to the The Incubus Of The Sixties and The Shock Of College-Level Demands subsections.

Racism can explain why there aren't enough African-Americans choosing to study engineering, physics, chemistry and mathematics.
This is the biggest load of B.S. I have ever seen on this forum. Parenting has everything to do with it, parents encourage and inspire kids to enroll in these types of programs and racism has nothing to do with it, no one is holding anyone back. If they were being stopped from enrolling, then I would say yes it might be racism. It might be lack of interest or the fact that they are not smart enough, I mean you cannot make a silk purse from a sows ear. Perhaps it is the lack of many 2 parent households in the black community.

Ok, maybe I was mistaken about your father.
Maybe in a particular job he was not as qualified as the next guy, maybe the next guy had more time in the field, who knows?
