I find it interesting that most schools in poorer sections of cities were mainly attended by African Americans and Hispanics. What does that say about our country and the opportunities it "provides." Is the "American Dream" still alive? Was it ever? No matter what laws get passed, society finds its way to oppress minorities. Of course, it's not as drastic as in the 60s and earlier. However, it doesn't mean it's not prevalent. In today's world, we still have to deal with intergenerational racism, education inequities, housing discrimination, employment discrimination, healthcare disparities, environmental racism, racial profiling, and police brutality. These are all still very real and current issues minorities are facing in this country. Here's a question: is it worse for a minority to be in a school with a poor education system and an unmotivated environment, teachers not wanting to teach, students not enthused to learn, etc.? Or to be a minority in a predominately white school?
