No whites allowed in Aurora tutoring program...LOTS OF NSFW CONTENT

[Ronin13]

Well, you are a San Jose fan, so....



Just trying to lighten the mood a bit.

But hey, they're doing pretty good this year, wish we could say the same for the Avs... Sorry, derail, I'll get back to my NASCAR, Budweiser and Copenhagen, redneck existence.

I heard a letter written into a program the other day from an Asian man. He was wondering why white people here in the US seem to suffer from "white shame". He mentioned that in Japan there is no Japanese shame, no Mexican shame in Mexico, and no white shame in Europe. So why here? It's gone too far. I'm glad the parents said something. The only way people are going to stop seeing color is if they stop teaching this stuff to their kids. I'm glad I grew up in a very diverse community where we could mention our color without feeling bad.

I feel no shame for being white- I have wronged no one and judge only based on character and actions, not color... And these are lessons I will teach my children.

Come on guys. Same team.

Let me clarify the point that I'm trying to make. I'm saying that different cultural differences coupled with different geographical areas result in people seeing the world differently. For instance where I grew up, I lived right near the Mexican American border. Since that time the population of Mexican Americans in that area has quadrupled. In that region of Mexico, it's common place to have corrupt officials, from the police on upward. Now where I used to live, there are more and more problems with corruption. Is this something limited to this part of America? No, of course not, but the majority of the population there see it as so big deal and the way that it is. Why is it? I believe that it is because of cultural and geographical differences. While we are all capable of having the same culture of Americans, more often it is divided in to races of people. I don't dislike people for simply being a certain race, that would be foolish, but i hate the certain cultures, of welfare, drugs, gangs and problems no matter what the races of the people. Maybe you don't understand that me having to put that I'm a white male on form that I fill out is infuriating. People get into college easier because of their race is infuriating That you get asked what your race is if applying for government assistance. A class survey that I have to fill out in school asks how the instructor treated minorities and women. No mention of me. People can rise above the cultural differences, but a lot of them don't. Saying that we are equal is correct we are, but saying we are all the same is absolutely false.

I agree... Here's a perfect example- While I was in BCT and AIT in the Army back in '06/ early '07, I noticed an alarming trend, two different groups of people, at two different bases on different sides of the country (MO vs AZ)- the blacks would segregate themselves from the whites and have their own clique, meanwhile, the whites integrated with like minded people regardless of skin color (the country folks congregated with country folks, the city guys tended to stick together), but for the most part, a large portion of the black soldiers (granted not all of them, but enough to form groups) ran together exclusively with no whites, Hispanics, or Asians. I also noticed that although we were all equal, treated by the command and instructors as if we were all the same rank and color, this "self-segregated" group acted as if they didn't have to participate in the daily chore roster or detail rotations...

MOD DELETED QUOTED POST

When was the last time you ever heard of a company that has a quota of hiring white people? Or actively seeking white males. Or a contractor that hires and employs a high percentage of white men.

Another for instance large companies have gay and lesbian support groups, black people support groups, latino people support groups, women expecting babies support groups, women in general support groups. There is NOT on boring ass white dude group. You know, cause that's racist, but in 'your' opinion we're on top so we don't need support right? So you better slow your roll homeboy. 'You' sound like a whining ass liberal.

Looks to me like the principal f'd up big time, and the school district is pretty embarrassed about the whole thing. The thing that made me perk my ears up was the part in the news segment that stated there seem to be a whole lot more going on, and they will continue with the story. I'd like to know what's going on.

I don't have children. Did annyone else think, "a ten-year-old needs tutoring?" From the sounds of it, there's a LOT of kids that need tutoring there, which makes me wonder if they're not needing an interim class or something.

The last time I remember hearing "of Color" was when Bloom County ran the comic strips that had the debate of "It's 'People of Color' now, not 'colored people.'" Crazy!
