“When I graduated from Wilson in 2011,” Kohrman writes, “it was roughly 20 percent white, 50 percent black and 20 percent Latino . Today, Wilson is roughly a third white, a third black and a fifth Latino. The trend is likely to accelerate. The District is growing whiter, and the majority-white elementary schools that feed into Wilson have more students than ever. The school may become majority-white within a decade.”

I wonder what the overall the test scores, and overall disciplinary climate, were like in 2011 versus what they're like now. I'm betting that both of them have been improving in these past few years, and will continue to do so.

For that remark I will surely be called racist. And I couldn't care less.

They don't understand that "non-woke whites" hate THEM more than they ever disliked or had problems with "persons of color."



Even worse, white liberals don't understand how loathed they are by non-whites as well. The patronizing way they interact with the world is just... gross. The Chinese have a term for them - Baizuo:

Baizuo (/ˈbaɪˌtswɔː/;[1] Chinese: 白左 báizuǒ, literally "idiotic leftist"[2]) is a derogatory Chinese neologism used to refer to Western liberal elites.[3][4][5] . In more than 400 answers submitted by Zhihu users during 2015 to May 2017, the term is defined as referring to those who are hypocritically obsessed with political correctness in order to satisfy their own feeling of moral superiority motivated from an ignorant and arrogant Western-centric worldview who pity the rest of the world and think they are saviours.
Spot on. We spend way too much time, money, and energy worried about PC culture, which ultimately further divides us. The Libs are obsessed with RACE!

It's even more hilarious when such white liberals end up becoming victims of crime by the very color of people they are out to "teach" other white people about.

Test scores are a product of the home....not the school.
are you saying it's impossible for a 'mostly white' school to be integrated?

What a shock, the thread title is a lie. The Washington Post isn't worrying about this. They published an opinion piece by an individual who happened to have graduated from the school and wanted to share his thoughts.

And he explained his concerns, including

Quote:
The school’s changing composition threatens what, for me, made a Wilson education exceptional: grappling with privilege and being in the minority. It also threatens a public good more important than a white teen’s moral development: an excellent education for thousands of low-income black and Latino students across the city.

For anyone who wants to actually read the piece as opposed to a quote taken out of context, most likely because it's currently making the rounds of the RWNJ blogosphere

I would find it hard to believe that the fine folks at the Washington Post don't share the writer's view.

Two eyerolls and two slappies.
