Are there any modern people who make great contributions to science who are not Jewish? As a non-Jewish person, I'm thankful for what Jews have given the world. Thank you Mr. McCarthy.
As a positive, he lists "one of the best elementary schools in Seattle (John Stanford) just a few blocks away."
As 1 of 2 negatives, he lists "everyone in Seattle appears to be white".
Consider the economic conditions of American cities in which Whites are a minority. Virtually all are economically depressed. Think Detroit, Newark, East St. Louis, East LA, Miami’s Little Haiti, South Dallas, etc.
Unfortunately, most white people would do anything to avoid being called a racist. This includes doing things that go against their group interests at all costs. Most white people are proud of themselves for "not noticing" race unless it's to point out whites behaving badly. I get so exasperated with the whole situation that I don’t know what to do.
The problem with that in America is that allowing entrance to schools based entirely on tests scores results in large numbers of Asians and whites and very few black and Hispanics and you end up with this racial discrimination mess.
I have mixed race children and do whatever it takes to make sure that they are in schools that made up of mostly white, Asian, or Indian (India) students. Black and Hispanic students have shown no signs of valuing education and the schools usually plagued with violence. I'm not alone in this thinking; every single Asian family I know does the same.
