Re: What do you consider a red flag in real life?

[(Anonymous)]

I guarantee that 90% of people who say "good schools" mean it literally and are not aware of the things you refer to here.

I ran this by a friend of mine who lives in a different part of the country than myself. His exact words: "I always figured 'good schools' was a dogwhistle for white mid-upper class." I suspect that percentage is below 90%, especially in the northern US.

Re: What do you consider a red flag in real life?

Ah, yes, because 1 friend of yours says so, it must be true.

Re: What do you consider a red flag in real life?

It's one example of a behavior/mindset I've seen play put in two different parts of the US (southeast Florida and the Upper Midwest). Given that my friend is in the Midatlantic area, I'd say this idea has had room to spread.

Where I'm from a "good school" meant as white as they can get. They would segregate if they could get away with it.

It's gotta be a regional thing? Where I'm from a "good school" means "where all the super education-motivated/immigrant/both parents' kids are at." Meaning disproportionate east asian/south asian/latino/jewish representation.

Re: What do you consider a red flag in real life?

Yeah, the "good school" near my house is actually minority white. It's a "good school" because the kids get good test scores across the board and go on to good colleges/universities.

Yeah, this is how I'm used to seeing it used, too. The "good school" in a district tends to be the one where most of the university professors' kids go, and you can bet that includes many Indian, Chinese, Lebanese, Russian, Vietnamese, and Iranian students. It's often not the most popular one with the white kids because of how hard they have to work to maintain their grades, and the lesser emphasis on social events. But it's decidedly not "whites only!"

Is your friend a parent with school-age children?

Re: What do you consider a red flag in real life?

[(Anonymous)]

AYRT

He is not, but he could still pick up that information from his friends that do have kids. Plus, he lives in a university town and gets an idea of who has gotten into that university on scholarship or parents' funding.

It's kind of a dogwhistle for "middle class +" because the "better" schools in terms of college admission tend to be "middle class +" because...middle class and above students are just more likely to opt for college education anyway because it's a class-based expectation and the property tax dollars are there AND parents who have means and free time are often more involved/volunteer.

There are still "better" schools if you live in a racially-homogenous area. They're in the rich neighborhoods.
