<p>getting dirty looks in AP classes from white students</p>
<p>...... How does that prevent someone from getting a good education?</p>
<p>it pressures a student to want to drop out? and someone without the dirty looks wouldn't feel that pressure?</p>
<p>(like i said, this is all general, and just from my experience going to a very, very diverse inner city public high school. i'm open to a change of opinion, but right now i'm just going off of what i know)</p>
<p>oracle1. Your comments make it very clear why people need to study American racial history. Do you understand that slavery and its aftermath endured for two centuries. even to this day, the mention of race (particularly Black) automatically results in people thinking "inferiority". The evidence of continued racial bias and sterotypes are endless. I'm not going to continue to respond to this thread. It's frustrating that young, naive people who seem to think that discrimination is a thing of the past is utterly ridiculous (there are many other types of discriminations that are not racial - for example, I'm originally from Alabama. White friends that I have in the south tell me that they are always stereotyped as backwards and racist, simply because they're southerners and have a southern drawl.</p>
<p>Impw...you type as if I haven't studied our history. Maybe it is different for you, but i live in a very liberal/progressive area. i'm sure you can find a story of discrimination, but i don't think it is as prevelant as you make it seem. this is kind of getting away from the original purpose of the thread, aa.</p>
