Yeah pretty much. When i was in high schoolIi had AP calculus, American history, lit, psychology, and biology and I pretty much was the only black person in the class full of whites, Asians, and Indians. I don't know about institutionalized racism but my school required everybody to take at least 4 AP classes but the optional APs like math and sciences black folk seemed to be intimidated by such subjects. Even now as a science major, black folk seem to shy away from those math and science oriented subjects. I think there needs to be programs implimented in middle and high schools to retain more underrepresented minorities in APs to give them confidence to take challenging courses in college in the future.
