I wonder what esmith considers a racist… I don’t think he realizes all of the assumptions in the comment he posted.
It’s racist and I take serious offense. These kids are human beings, they are no different than your own kids with the exception of being less fortunate.
OMG, so much flame out of my single statement.
Marion, by the time kids get to the middle school, they are sufficiently different. They are influenced by their upbringing and some kinds of influence are better than others. As much as I respect illegal aliens’ willingness to work dead-end jobs for less than minimum wage to support their families, I don’t see them as good influence on their children.
I would be as concerned with my kids going to a school that’ s 50% chinese. Last I checked, there weren’t any chinese ghettos in CA. But I wouldn’t want my kids to grow up in Chula Vista any more than I’d want my kids to grow up among all-white trailer trash in Kearny Mesa.
