Reply #88: No, that is indeed not racist. That is also not what the previous poster implied.

But by all means, let's keep implying that multiculturalism is the reason why our crappy schools perform like shit. That is like not racist in the least. No siree Bob.

I mean, it could not possibly be the ever lowering academic standards, the utter lack of proper funding, the rampant anti-intellectualism in our society, the brutal differences among socio-economic groups and classes, the fact that education in this country is viewed as being solely geared towards making good customers or leading to specific earning potentials, and it could most definitively not be the extreme lack of normalized funding among different school districts.

It must obviously be the fact that in the US we're hampered by having too many of those non-white and non-Asian students, you know those students who happen to have an excess of pigmentation and who can't be taught apparently, driving our averages down. Because obviously, there does not seem to be a single under-performing mostly white school district in the Midwest...
