We were told that all Asians (including all south central asians such as those from India & Pakistan) were "Whites" in the school district because if they were classed with minorities, then the school district would lose their federal money for programs for "minorities." They didn't even bother to call them "whites/Asians;" they were just plain old ordinary "Whites." Apparently, the money for "minorities" was really only for African-Americans.
Is it systemic racism when one race (African-Americans) is selected for federal handouts?
Or, is it possible that skin color darkness has nothing to do with academic performance or success in life?
Very confusing issue.
