Is this not racial profiling?
    #14489430 - 05/21/11 12:27 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

Im trying to sign up for this school which has a late registration today only. But i cant make an account and no one works today. Quite fucking ridiculous/stupid.

But i came across this...

http://www.roanestate.edu/?6601-New-Federal-Guidelines-for-Collecting-and-Reporting-Race-and-Ethnicity

It reminds me of affirmative action. Political correctness... Where people have taken the race card soooo far that its now the opposite.

A list of races.. wow. Diverse? is like they have to state that or something??

Not exactly they just want better statistics on who's going to school where, I doubt they will discriminate because of this.

I confused as to what how you find this to be "racial profiling". Do you actually understand what racial profiling is?

These are just guidelines for collecting demographic info on students and faculty. The forms allow people to self identify and it's totally optional. I never supply the info though because I don't want my race being an issue on any form I happen to fill out, even though they're not supposed to use it that way...

They probably want to finally figure out if race has a direct relation to intelligence.
Every hardcore racists says it does but there is no hard evidence.:shrug:

then explain why blacks do worse on standardized testing leading many of the
black community leaders to speak out and claim that these tests are racist,
explain why asians do better than whites on these tests, explain why James

my belief is that it really has nothing to do with the race vs. intelligence
but more to do with upbringing, discipline, focus and determination

You forgot cultural values, which I don't consider the same as race- but some may align the two.

I believe this too.  They key with kids school performance/ability has a lot to do with culture/upbringing.  In Asian homes, yu see the mother constantly teaching/interacting with the children to teach them, from a very early age.

my daughter is in kindergarten, her teachers constantly tell me she's one of
the smartest pupils they've ever taught, they had her take a placement test
which ranks her with the 3rd graders in the terms of general knowledge, math,
reading and creativity, for first grade she'll be placed in a gifted program

why is she so smart, because I teach her just like those asian mothers teach
their kids, I do the same with my son but he often refuses to apply himself

It says:

"Previously, reporting race and ethnicity only allowed individuals to be identified in one racial category. The new guidelines allow individuals to select more than one race and/or ethnicity."

Ways the bug deal? :shrug:

Actually family income correlates really strongly with school performance and standardized test performance. So basically if your family can afford better education you'll do better on the tests. If your family is broke you won't be able to live in a neighborhood that has well funded schools, you won't be able to get a tutor, etc etc.

The "racial" differences in standardized testing and academic performance have more to do with Socio-Economic Status than anything else. But in America our class system is so racialized that it's difficult to tease those factors apart.

Not to mention that the construction of the tests is SOO problematic! We should really start off asking the question of "What to these tests actually TEST for?" rather than just assuming that they are effective indicators of whatever they CLAIM to test.

SAT scores don't really correlate to good performance in college. So it's becoming more and more obvious that the tests are pretty useless. Yet the keep getting shoved through in public policy because education is a political football...

that's a load of shit, if a student applies himself in school he'll do
well, makes no difference if they're tutored by outside sources or go to
the best schools money can buy, throughout school I made poor grades but
never made less than 90% on any test I took, I cam from one of the poor
families you describe, the issue is that I refused to turn in home work
whether I did it or not. and while you may not be aware of it, many poor
kids go to those same well funded schools because the school isnt built
for the neighborhood, it's built for the region within a county which
often incorporates some of the lower income neighborhoods, so now, if
those poor kids are doing poorly in the well funded schools then what
becomes the excuse

race baiters make it racial, are you arare that there's more poor whites
in the US than poor blacks, nearly 5 times more poor whites, why do the
poor whites do better than poor blacks?

I've taken these tests, I've reviewed the tests my kids take, I've got no
clue what the hell you're talking about, they review things that you'd
learn in school, some go a step beyond and test reasoning skills, by no
means is it problematic unless you're one of those kids that just dont
handle tests well
