It doesnt really surprise me to be honest and if things keep going the way they are, there wont be many white kids either. Indian and Asian parents tend to push their children harder to achieve than white or black parents. Its a large part of their culture. I wouldnt say that it was institutionalized rasism. Nobody is denying people from performing well on their tests, no white person goes to a black or latina house and takes away their books or anything. I have been teaching for a long time and all I can say is blame the parents. I remember when I was in high school my parents pushed me to get good marks. It seems these days as if parents (of course not every single parent) do not seem interested in their children and expect the school system to raise you. If the tests are open to everybody, or your placement is based on your school work, how can it be racist. You achieve because you put in the effort.
