[quote=AN][quote=bearishgurl]I totally agree that there are different “ethnicities” within the Asian demographic group.

Teachers at BVHS are ALL races but more than half of them are Hispanic (at least part Hispanic) and teachers of “other demographic” there speak Spanish.

“Hispanic” is such a “catch all” term for a portion of the “Caucasian” race. Like, flu said, he intends to change the last name of his daughter before she applies for college (to increase her chances of admission, lol). What’s in a surname? Many persons with “Hispanic” surnames do not possess even one drop of “Hispanic” blood. And how much “Hispanic” blood in them does one need to be officially labeled “Hispanic” or “Latino?” Would 1/2, 1/4 or 1/8 do??[/quote]
So, how does this play into your argument about my original post of Asian in Hoover score similar to Hispanic in Carmel Valley? So, what you’re saying even the Non-Hispanic with Hispanic names are not scoring as well as their Asian and White counter parts? Even with all the teachers speaking Spanish to help Hispanic kids assimilate and that’s the best that they can do? That’s kinds of sad.[/quote]

I never stated that BVHS’s or TPHS’s students who were categorized “Hispanic” weren’t actually “Hispanic” and you never answered my question, which was:

Why do you think “Hispanics” at BVHS (API 851) scored 81 points higher on their state exams than “Hispanic” students at TPHS (API 882)?

(826 BVHS Hispanic score minus 745 TPHS Hispanic score.)
