I grew up there. Rarely saw any asian kids, although it is changing these days. The Jews were in the affluent neighborhoods (like Grosse Pointe), they wished to be white and avoided Detroit at all costs. But nice try. I am white. Detroit areas I grew up in were mostly black. The few whites there were not rich (we were not rich). But again. I don't expect someone defending legacy systems to understand this. What part of Detroit are you from? Or are you just an apologists for your rich masters who seek to buy their way out of a holistic review, so their kids can attend top schools and America can become segregated again, except this time, on the basis of income and equality? I am not a Russian bot. Are you an Israeli bot that is charged with covering a genocide somewhere? Maybe that's why you want to undermine fairness in the US. Aren't our taxes enough little bot bud?

Who is defending legacy systems? I just see someone saying bigoted nonsense and call it bigoted nonsense.

If you actually cared about fairness in the US, you wouldn't be roleplaying 8-mile to make a point about how easy breezy it is for ethnic minorities because you had it so tough endowed by presenting as the skin tone w/ endless benefit-of-the-doubt in the US. Grosse Point is predominantly populated by self-identified White people.

The part of Detroit where I'm from is none of your business, but based on your twig narrow view of the city, and not mentioning the any of the cities with "Hills" in their name to wax Antisemitic, I know you're from the Detroit area in the same way that DTW is. Heck, any dart thrown at Wayne county would be just as likely to find your particular set of prejudices. Which suburb are you representing? Probably roughed it from the mean streets of Royal Oak, loitering the Farmer Jacks parking lot, gambling on hands of Euchre with your Windsor loonies. Or maybe you were trying to blend into downriver by building deer blinds with the closeted Confederacy. In any case, even if you arrive at the right conclusions, your arguments are self-defeating and unpersuasive.

You didn't see Jewish kids because many present as White and you yourself probably made it feel unsafe for them to identify. And you didn't see Asian kids working summer jobs because you could buy your shampoo at chain grocery stores.

Claiming that regionally underrepresented ethnic minorities are specifically gaming systems while being Schrodinger's Oppressed white refugee really takes the wind out of your own sails when advocating for one means of mitigating racist institutions by employing your own racist rhetoric. You learned your prejudices from the American neighbors that your parents were more comfortable being around, because it's definitely not an export from the Balkans.
