Looking at the charts it appears that in every single school racial and ethnic minorities are the majority of students.

The most elite schools are usually the most racist. They just do an outstanding job of hiding it. This kind of racism is the most insidious and damaging in society. It is beyond intellectually dishonest.

And also how many minorities actually applied


Don't list race.

The test isn't just for getting in Stuy.

Public school, but the test has been criticized for many years.

Is this racism? It seems more likely that this was a result of ignoring race. Hell, it doesn't sound like white people are doing that hot either.

I'm confused and dumb and from a small town in the Midwest. How are these considered public schools?

They are funded and run by the public. More specifically run by the NYC Department of Education.

Whites are like 70% of the country. We are being discriminated against!

a VERY simplified explanation

Magnet schools were an educational fad in the 70's
specialized education in low-income areas to encourage the reverse of white flight

then it became a revenue generator and upper-class areas started getting them

Let's be honest it typically isn't real hard to determine race by name.

I doubt there are many Asian Americans named Da'qwan

They could just do federally mandated busing like they did in the south. I thought Yankees hated segregation and only us dumb southerners had that
