Burlingame High School is a public school in the affluent suburban San Mateo school district just south of the San Francisco airport. It’s student body used to be about half white, with the rest Asian and Hispanic. Suddenly, two years ago, virtually all the white students (blue in the graph) vanished, from 712 in 2018 to 11 in 2020, with Two Or More Races growing from 152 in 2018 to 851 in 2020.
This disappearance of whites shows up on several private and government websites. It’s not just a typo at one school.
The same thing happened at San Mateo HS in the same school district:
And at Hillsdale HS in the district:
On the other, Carlmont HS in the nearby Sequoia school district doesn’t appear to be missing any white students:
So whatever is happening appears to be restricted to the San Mateo Union High district.

Two possibilities:
(1) It’s a trick to gain more funding. I’ve tried to find any evidence of a recent change in the law, for example the 2015 Every Student Succeeds Act, or any California-specific laws, but to no avail.
(2) It’s a hack to get kids easier entry into college by claiming semi-minority status, like Fauxcahontas.
My money is on the latter. The changes to college admissions (scrapping the SAT) have been talked about for some time, so San Mateo is just getting ahead of the curve.
(What’s interesting is how quickly San Mateo picked up this idea. In the past it would have been years before anybody spotted the loophole; now thanks to the internet, these ideas spread like wildfire. We could see a return to SATs fairly quickly.)

“Two or more races” might be a good way to game admissions to Universities.
25 years ago, I had an admin assistant who graduated from Columbia University with top honors, but wasn't admitted at any of his law school picks. Brooklyn, single mother, American (Italian ancestry). Those who were getting accepted ahead of him were the sons and daughters of (wealthy) South American diplomats, bankers and doctors (living in NYC). Their exoticism was better than his. The diversity game started long before the 21st century--long before "POC" was invented, long before "brown & black" were co-joined in anti-white discrimination.Replies: @Alden, @Paleo Liberal
An anecdotal story on this.
While volunteering at mass vaccination clinics operated by a NGO organization that operates free and Medicaid clinics in majority-minority neighborhoods, I was tasked with checking the paper informed consent forms that all patients had to complete. In the demographic section, the first question had two parts. The first part was what race was the person and gave choices of black, white, Asian, native American, two or more, decline to state, The second part of the question was whether someone was Latino, non-Latino, or decline to state.
While checking the forms, all of the Central and South American immigrants knew to check off Latino but skipped the race question. I always filled in the "two or more" races block on the form them. Many non-Latinos did not bother to fill out the Latino question but would just check off race. I always asked those who skipped the Latino question how good their Spanish was and all of them said that they did not speak Spanish. So, I would just fill in the non-Latino block for them.
I understood what the form was asking and why the organization needed the data. Thus, I completed the form using the information that is discussed all the time by Steve and others.
There is not much sympathy for Palestinians on this blog but you should still call out the blatant bias of journalists like Brian Stelter, the chief media correspondent at CNN. Here he asserts the IDF was supposed to bomb the building housing the AP because of yet to be presented evidence.

And even if the Ruling Class journalistic narrative wasn't pro-Zionist, Tater himself is one of the Chosen (certainly by family affiliation and probably ethnically), so he's rooting for his team.
Yes. I never thought I'd say it: Hip, hip, hurray, for Brian Stelter! These are the first warm feelings I've felt for him since his days on Seinfeld.
1. There is no such thing as "international, humanitarian law." That's just racial socialist sophistry;
2. I would think that, things being what they are where the bombing was carried out, "ap" and "al-jazeeera" are simply euphemisms for "Hamas," and the Sabras' only mistake was in permitting the fake journalists to escape;
3. There is no way Israel could or should meet Joel Simon's demand, because that would guarantee the murder of its sources (Simon knows that, though I'm sure he supports protecting the confidentiality of Moslem terrorist sources), and would entail putting him in control of its national security; and
4. Note that Simon, clearly a supporter of Holocaust II, has a very Jewish-sounding name. Many of the loudest voices supporting HII are people who were born Jews, but who have devoted themselves to finishing Hitler's work.

Whilst those identifying as two or more races massively increased. They must be fleeing that white privilege. This is counter-Narrative, so there ought to be a law against it.
I lived near there for several years and I’d like to know the answer also.
A lot of Hispanic families were "passing" and have now simply checked a different box.
Funny. My guess is some sort of data entry or data coding issue that swapped “white” and “two or more” for the past two years. e.g. maybe two or more went up to the top of the list and white to the bottom in some front-end and someone naively changed the enumeration underlying that display w/o realizing it would have impact further back in the system.
Having absolute numbers might help, too.
As Mamoru Oshii told us, if you look at reality through computerized filters, the computerized filter becomes your reality.
(Maybe white students were mutated by COVID-19?)
The 2018-2019 change does look like a swap numerically, but there seem to be enough games played with those categories to leave doubt. Maybe they are checking if anyone is paying attention ; )
Another issue is "Not Specified" which looks to be up to about a third at San Mateo HS.
P.S. Also notice the oddball 2012 at Carlmont HS which shows a one off bump in "two or more" and a corresponding decline in "white."

The thread looks genuine.
Indeed, the 1st presumption is that any disparity results from racisim. The 2nd presumption is that racism is contained within the test. That is, the test itself is racist, rather than an objective measure (or predictor) of performance that resulting from structural racism.
This is the weird logic of Kendi-ist anti-racism, that structural racism must be addressed symptomatically rather than systematically. Discrimination now, discriminations forever is the only logical consequence. The irony is that objective measures are eliminated in favor of subjective. Poor subjective evaluation will be prima facie racist, thus the subjective can be regulated with social control. But subjective opinion is, in their view, what got us here in the first place. How this could turn around seems to have escaped notice.
My bet, Asians (east and south) will be less susceptible to to external pressure, but more susceptible to internal pressure regarding evaluations. This will be much easier to game than the objective exams.
Maybe they got smart and started identifying as PoC for the gibs.
Spontaneous combustion.
Maybe school districts have different covid policies. Whites in San Mateo might have the ability to pay for alternatives to public high school.
The answer is all but certain to be that whites started identifying as of two or more races- it is the one category that isn't immediately questioned by anyone.

Bari Weiss left NYT because though an SJW wokester in every other respect (She is a lesbian and was once in a relationship with Kate McKinnon) she is a turbo Zionist (This obvious context was never reported, I don’t think Steve even mentioned it much despite covering it) she fears the rhetorical power given to arguments that apply to Israel more than anything or anyone else in the world today. So far she seems to have abandoned a nice gig for nothing as despite there being only one news story other than covid (Which itself is winding down), the MSM are covering for Israel and not allowing things to get out of hand.
Even on social media you don’t see as much trending as you’d expect. Is she wrong? Will #DefundTheIDF not ever trend? It’s fascinating to see how controlled the grass roots social media outrage machine really still is by MSM gatekeeping.
It will only take enough big social media stars to make statements to start this, the images will just be too compelling. We haven’t seen an intifada in the age of social media. Though Trump would have gone crazy with rhetoric for Israel, just like with Jerusalem, the MSM would forgo their usual meltdown and just swiftly move on to the next TDS outrage. With no Trump and the covid shutdowns having reduced the amount of other news, there won’t be much else to campaign about on social media or for the news media to cover.

Don’t care. Palestinians seem to be the blacks of the middle east, incapable of being peaceful, productive, and law abiding as a group. Force seems to be all they understand. I must say though, that it was monumentally stupid of the Zionists to pick the middle east for their homeland. They should have picked a remote south sea island or some other place not surrounded by people who hate them.
Israel controls the money supply to Gaza, and the borders. Money greases all wheels. If you can't start a business and pay people, there's going to be unemployment. This is being done on purpose to enfeeble the Palestinian economy.

I suggested that he check that he was an Amerindian. Wow! The mailbox almost collapsed with acceptance letters offering full scholarships. But this was a joke from the beginning. At the time, my son and I knew he was en route to a private engineering school without a scholarship. I pained for every penny of his education. It was worth it.

The change occurred in 2019, not 2020, so COVID can’t be the explanation.
The answer is all but certain to be that whites started identifying as of two or more races- it is the one category that isn’t immediately questioned by anyone.
But it was probably done at the school level for funding.
“2 or more races” is an easy category to fit into. People can hardly claim that you’re not, since the label doesn’t actually state what you are.
Also, all white people in the US to seem to be at least 2 races. Even if just descended from France, you can be a Breton, Frankish Gaul – how useful!
They probably changed the criteria on what was considered white, perhaps counting anyone who has some ancestry from another race as non white.
Are they?
I see a lot of reporting on (the relatively few) Palestinian deaths and concerns, but very little on the huge numbers in the constant conflicts in Turkey, Libya, Ethiopia, Egypt, Sudan, Jordan, Yemen, Iraq, Syria and others too numerous to list, despite those countries surrounding Israel, or being even closer to Europe.
The Daily Mail isn’t pulling any punches. It’s the reduction of the Warsaw Ghetto all over again. Murdering bast**ds.
Is it possible that many of the “white” students are Armenians, Persians, Israeli Jews, etc. who are typically counted as white are calling themselves other/two or more races? In this case, they would have switched their designation around 2018, maybe to secure diversity points. That would also mean that the actual % of white (European) students has been declining much more over the decades and it simply went unnoticed because the European Whites were replaces by Near Eastern “Whites.”
It could also be Hispanics changing their designation, but I don’t know why they would have called themselves White when Hispanic was an option. That is usually the result of a lack of a Hispanic or Mestizo category.

Seems like yesterday, yet those kids in the video are now 50 years old.
It’s the Pocahontas thing.
It makes little difference to taxpayers whether their money gets wasted on:
• 1,000 white kids,
• 500+500 non+white kids, or
• 1,000 non-white kids.
The more meaningful statistic is that in the larger school districts, the number of babysats is officially down by 5% or so; that (lowball) figure is not broken out by race.
The funding formula specifies that when headcount drops — even due to random fluctuations like “unexcused” absences — the schools are supposed to return the money to the treasury (so that the funds can be wasted on other budget items).
Of course the schools (DEMs) were bailed out with no consideration of the missing. They’re awash in tax-cash. Great news for PERS.
Smells like Gaming The System. As being classified as White becomes more and more a barrier to academic/career advancement, smart parents simply re-classify their kids as multiracial.
More and more American life becomes a competition over who can better Game The System.
Exactly. And the very rapid Asianification of our elite classes will exacerbate the problem immensely. The elite is becoming Asian a lot faster than many folks realize.
Vampires? Sunnydale used to have that problem.
Could be the schools mentioned have declared themselves minority schools to make it easier for the White kids to get around the draconian discrimination against Whites in college admissions.
Those schools are more or less in eastern San Mateo very popular with Asians. Are Indians classified as White or something else nowadays? Lots of spill over of Indians from Santa Clara We Whites are lined up on the western side on the ocean. Soon we’ll have nowhere to go but the Farallon islands. Or the Whites have all transferred to Bellarmine, Juniperro Serra Mercy Burlingame and Norte Dame Belmont.
Did total enrollment fall?
Maybe the white students are all being homeschooled now, or went private, or moved to Texas and Idaho.
Or they did a family tree and found a Spanish surname somewhere in the mix.
“Two or more races.” That could describe pretty much the entire world.

25 years ago, I had an admin assistant who graduated from Columbia University with top honors, but wasn’t admitted at any of his law school picks. Brooklyn, single mother, American (Italian ancestry). Those who were getting accepted ahead of him were the sons and daughters of (wealthy) South American diplomats, bankers and doctors (living in NYC). Their exoticism was better than his. The diversity game started long before the 21st century–long before “POC” was invented, long before “brown & black” were co-joined in anti-white discrimination.
After 2 years she took a written promotional exam She failed the written exam. Then she married a man with a Spanish surname. She took the promotional exam next time it was held. Again she failed the written exam. A few months later the Griggs decision and orders declared White Americans unemployable despicable untouchables.
Because of her Spanish surname, she got a letter from civil service. “We offer you a temporary promotion because of your unique qualifications”. Translation; Spanish surname we can send to the federal EEOC and state FEPC gestapo.
If you have kids, change their name to Spanish name and race to Hispanic non White.
She was promoted every few years until she became deputy head of the department as soon as possible. She was given a real job not any kind of DIE nonsense.
Irony. Husband isn’t Hispanic at all. He’s pure German. Born in east Germany under soviet occupation. Parents got out and went to Nicaragua. Spoke Spanish at home and changed their name to the Spanish version. Then the dictator changed for the worse. So they moved to California but kept the Spanish last name.
She’s a good person and always competent at her jobs.
Some folks were trying to make me feel guilty about accepting this scholarship, since I was so very white in their eyes. Why was the son of a WASP college professor eligible, but the sons of blue collar Italian Americans were not? Well, I could prove Native ancestry, and they couldn't, so neener neener neener.
At one point there was a meeting over at Princeton where I met the other grad students in my region who had received the scholarship. One was a black descendant of slaves. All of the others were the American citizen children of upper middle class families from Latin America. Conquistador Americans, as Steve would say.
And that is the game. There are American children of South Asian or East Asian immigrants getting a free ride to the U of Wisconsin, while their white counterparts can't get it.

Think she makes $200k+ from substack. So she left for something.
Hillsdale High, noted by Steve is one of 3 high schools in the affluent city of San Mateo, 16 miles south of SF. In the other two, Aragon and San Mateo High, white students also statistically disappeared, as did Burlingame High (also noted by Steve) in the town of Burlingame, directly north of San Mateo.
California’s Schools are still effectively closed. Some schools are doing 9-12 for 4 days most. These schools are also full of woke ideology, and all the new BS. A new trend in California schools will be to force all students to take the same math classes through the sophomore year so lower learners can be next to higher learners. Only then can you take advanced math. This new math equity plan alone should clear public school out of many Asian families soon.
Affluent white parents (mostly liberal democrats) simply removed their kids and put them in one of the many religious or non-religious private high schools in the area. It is sad all student can’t escape the public schools here.
All the Latins dumped their “White/Hispanic” checkboxes for straight-up Latin/Hispanic. I know that area well enough to suspect there haven’t been many Euro-descent folks there for a minute.
If one looks at demographic data reporting from universities, one would also see the increase in two or more races.
An anecdotal story on this.
While volunteering at mass vaccination clinics operated by a NGO organization that operates free and Medicaid clinics in majority-minority neighborhoods, I was tasked with checking the paper informed consent forms that all patients had to complete. In the demographic section, the first question had two parts. The first part was what race was the person and gave choices of black, white, Asian, native American, two or more, decline to state, The second part of the question was whether someone was Latino, non-Latino, or decline to state.
While checking the forms, all of the Central and South American immigrants knew to check off Latino but skipped the race question. I always filled in the “two or more” races block on the form them. Many non-Latinos did not bother to fill out the Latino question but would just check off race. I always asked those who skipped the Latino question how good their Spanish was and all of them said that they did not speak Spanish. So, I would just fill in the non-Latino block for them.
I understood what the form was asking and why the organization needed the data. Thus, I completed the form using the information that is discussed all the time by Steve and others.
This happens more often than people think. People have an attitude that making people work with no UI-based table data is impossible so they use UI-based systems like excel with mistakes happening all the time since things are taken into and out of different systems and pipelines.

The spreadsheet is a bad idea but the Excel Spreadsheet interface is an accumulation of traps going from copy-paste problems to ridiculous data representation errors to clown-tier in-cell code with no debugging aid or data flow analysis tool.
A civilizational catastrophe.

Maybe she’s worried some liberals will persecute her for her surname. She should change it to Schwartz. I’m thinking of planting some articles in decorating magazines accusing White walls , ceilings and wooden floors in various shades of yellow, tan to darkest brown of racism and White supremacy. Ceilings and walls arrogantly raised above floors.
Whites — as whites — are a minority in California. They’re 36% of the population.

About 45 years ago there was a young woman with a typical goyim not Jewish obviously German surname. Ethnicity standard American German English Irish. She went to work for a city agency a few years before affirmative action and Griggs decision.
After 2 years she took a written promotional exam She failed the written exam. Then she married a man with a Spanish surname. She took the promotional exam next time it was held. Again she failed the written exam. A few months later the Griggs decision and orders declared White Americans unemployable despicable untouchables.
Because of her Spanish surname, she got a letter from civil service. “We offer you a temporary promotion because of your unique qualifications”. Translation; Spanish surname we can send to the federal EEOC and state FEPC gestapo.
If you have kids, change their name to Spanish name and race to Hispanic non White.
She was promoted every few years until she became deputy head of the department as soon as possible. She was given a real job not any kind of DIE nonsense.
Irony. Husband isn’t Hispanic at all. He’s pure German. Born in east Germany under soviet occupation. Parents got out and went to Nicaragua. Spoke Spanish at home and changed their name to the Spanish version. Then the dictator changed for the worse. So they moved to California but kept the Spanish last name.
She’s a good person and always competent at her jobs.
Maybe the white students are all being homeschooled now, or went private, or moved to Texas and Idaho.
Or they did a family tree and found a Spanish surname somewhere in the mix.

One probably means non-Hispanic white. If one counts Hispanics, California is still more than 50% white. Look up the rules for completing an FBI fingerprint card versus the instructions for the census form versus the instructions for completing a college applicaiton. They are all different. A specific example is how Middle Eastern and North African is used not to separate the MENA from other white but to separate MENA from blacks.
Just a hypothesis…
For Silicon Valley workers in their early 30’s, the locus of tech quietly shifted from San Jose/Palo Alto to mid-peninsula (San Mateo/Burlingame) during the 2010’s. The latter is ideally situated at a halfway point between the city and tech giants further south. If you live there, you may have a 30 minute daily commute but rarely a 1hour commute. Before Chinese Flu, the overall quality of life and job opportunity was probably the best on the planet.
Most young married tech workers fall into three categories: Brahmin Indian couples, East Asian couples and liberal White guy/Asian girl couples. I’m guessing that is driving a lot of this. Before the election year awokening, the Hapa couples identified their children as White. They started to see the writing on the wall, and started identifying their children as mixed race instead.
There are still White enclaves. Hillsborough. Marin County. Walnut Creek. Even San Carlos.
San Carlos, in particular, is notably White, despite its surroundings. The percentage of White Students at Carlmont Magnet has been remarkably stable. There is even a nice burger spot in San Carlos, fittingly called Refuge, with a clientele that is 100% White. Go a few miles south to Redwood City. The highschool is now overwhelmingly Hispanic.
The ethnic balkanization of the Bay Area is difficult to appreciate until you have seen it. Go to one town, all of the storefronts are written in Chinese. Go one town over and it’s all well-behaved Whites. Spend a week there, and you quickly see multiculturalism is a complete joke. The only people who believe it are woke tech workers and dumb Boomer women.
Two or more races: 100- and 200-meter dash for West African blacks. Marathon and 10K for East Africans. Middle distance for whites, and racewalking for whites with no shame.

Decades ago, when I was in graduate school, I filled out the forms I needed to join an Indian tribe (yes, I have about as much Indian blood as Senator Warren, possibly more, but I can prove it and she can’t so neener neener neener). I also applied for several prestigious minority scholarships. I got one.
Some folks were trying to make me feel guilty about accepting this scholarship, since I was so very white in their eyes. Why was the son of a WASP college professor eligible, but the sons of blue collar Italian Americans were not? Well, I could prove Native ancestry, and they couldn’t, so neener neener neener.
At one point there was a meeting over at Princeton where I met the other grad students in my region who had received the scholarship. One was a black descendant of slaves. All of the others were the American citizen children of upper middle class families from Latin America. Conquistador Americans, as Steve would say.
And that is the game. There are American children of South Asian or East Asian immigrants getting a free ride to the U of Wisconsin, while their white counterparts can’t get it.

this happens fast in some sports, or in national merit scholar results.
some high school will be chugging along for decades, then within less than a decade, they’ll just disappear from the national results. then when you check deeper, the number of pale people have dropped off a cliff and it’s a vibrant high school now.
“East Valley High used to be so good at football, what the hell happ…oh, it’s all mexicans now.”
Agreed that it probably has to do with the “two or more” category, but not sure about an intentional vs. unintentional change. Also notice 2008-2011 and how the sum of “white” and “two or more” remains roughly constant while the two categories change around.
The 2018-2019 change does look like a swap numerically, but there seem to be enough games played with those categories to leave doubt. Maybe they are checking if anyone is paying attention ; )
Another issue is “Not Specified” which looks to be up to about a third at San Mateo HS.
P.S. Also notice the oddball 2012 at Carlmont HS which shows a one off bump in “two or more” and a corresponding decline in “white.”
That’s why they use confusing colors on the bar graphs – see The Legend of SchoolDigger. That title sounds like it’s a horror short story or something… nah, it’s more like a horror novel, come to think of it.

The funding formula specifies that when headcount drops — even due to random fluctuations like “unexcused” absences — the schools are supposed to return the money to the treasury (so that the funds can be wasted on other budget items).Of course the schools (DEMs) were bailed out with no consideration of the missing. They’re awash in tax-cash. Great news for PERS.Replies: @Buffalo Joe
A_p_e, the Buffalo Public School District does not take attendance and someone signs off on a false number of students attending Buffalo schools.

Vampires be raciss? They prefer pale skin and enjoy turning it a whiter shade.
The principal of the new high school in the last year of Buffy the Vampire Slayer on tv was an African-American (from Bel Air!) though. He had a major jones for staking the blond English palest of the pale punk (“Do you like the Ramones?”) vampire Spike. Spike was a late Victorian poet who said he thought the American Indians had it coming, so I guess he was a white supremacist especially as he had killed a Chinese vampire slayer during the Boxer rebellion and the black American one (mother of the aforementioned principal) in 1977 on a NYC subway car.

I forget the name of the guy – he was a fairly distinguished public school teacher and administrator in New York – who wrote several books after he retired to the effect that all public education is for the purpose of indoctrination. Pupils are encouraged to not think too much, to learn only what they’re instructed to learn, to recognize and obey the proffered social heirarchy. There are some videos of this guy being interviewed around the interwebs; I’m sure I saw a link to one somewhere at James Corbett’s or Whitney Webb’s or Dave Cullen’s websites.

If you can’t lick ’em, join ’em. So white people re-invent themselves as two or more races. Does this mean Jews also need to switch to two or more races? What happens to a Jew who checks “white” on the admissions form? I never see “Jewish” as a race option on any of these forms. Are Jews being canceled in the admissions process along with whites, or is there a work around in university admissions so Jews are identified and treated separately from plain old whites?
Another option for white people is to declare themselves Jewish. If enough white people in America identify as Jewish, it will be anti-semitic to cancel whites.

Gatto was also scheduled to give a talk that week, to a Minnesota homeschoolers’ convention. He drove overnight from his off-the-grid home in Chenango County, N.Y., and fulfilled his committment. That’s a drive I’ve made many times, and it’s about 24 hrs on the road, not including stops.

In famously mixed-race Brazil, the recent introduction of Affirmative Action college benefits (which incentivized mixed-race ‘pardo’ kids to claim to be fully black) have actually led to tribunals that employ 19th-century style ‘race science’ skull and nose measurements to determine who gets the coveted AA spots. Even that hasn’t settled the matter; black activist student groups have doxxed and even filed lawsuits against students suspected of having faked their way past the tribunals despite being insufficiently black;

As the proudly mixed-race country grapples with its legacy of slavery, affirmative-action race tribunals are measuring skull shape and nose width to determine who counts as disadvantaged.

… “These spots are for people who are phenotypically black,” Mailson Santiago, a history major at the Federal University of Pelotas and a member of the student activist group Setorial Negro, told me. “It’s not for people with black grandmothers.”
But in a country as uniquely diverse as Brazil — where 43 percent of citizens identify as mixed-race, and 30 percent of those who think of themselves as white have black ancestors — it’s not immediately clear where the line between races should be drawn, nor who should get to draw it, and using what criteria. These questions have now engulfed college campuses, the public sector, and the courts….

There are other, better, studies and explanations for this. I just tried to find them, but alas, I did not. Funny that.
Basically, the longer you live, the smaller any one year becomes as a fraction of your life so far.
Let’s say you have lived 50 years. A year is 1/50 of your life then (and that is how you perceive it) whereas it was 1/5 of your life when you were 5. Okay. That is the basic idea, and it seems to hold true for people’s perspectives.
Everyone has to agree: When you are 60, a year of your life represents only 1/60 of it, but you remember that a year when you were 10 was 1/10 of your life.
It is said that is how we experience these things.

Native Euro-Californian minority here. Hapa kids. The percentages vary, but the vast majority of public school students in California are Hispanic or Asian. White students are a small (e.g. 10%) minority, go to private/home school or live in rural or exurban districts. Black students are an even smaller minority, shrinking fast. Like or not, this is the future of the state.
In other words, this idea of California as the land of goofy White liberals is already in the rear view mirror. Long term, as the U.S. proper collapses, California will become a post colonial nation along the lines of Malaysia. There will be racial tension for sure, but not the same sadomasochistic White/Black divide most Americans are familiar with.

California's Schools are still effectively closed. Some schools are doing 9-12 for 4 days most. These schools are also full of woke ideology, and all the new BS. A new trend in California schools will be to force all students to take the same math classes through the sophomore year so lower learners can be next to higher learners. Only then can you take advanced math. This new math equity plan alone should clear public school out of many Asian families soon.

And even if the Ruling Class journalistic narrative wasn’t pro-Zionist, Tater himself is one of the Chosen (certainly by family affiliation and probably ethnically), so he’s rooting for his team.

But why?
http://www.sanmateocourt.org/documents/grand_jury/2019/hate_at_schools.pdf
It focuses directly on the San Mateo district. There were several hate hoaxes in 2018-2019. The only quasi real one involved a former student spray painting a swastika on Burlingame Highschool.

By the mid-1920s, entering classes at Harvard were approximately 30% Jewish. I wonder how many of those were actually ‘legacies’??

I found it to be a pretty compelling explanation. The refresh rate at which you process visual stimuli decreases as you age. The standard frame rate for movies is 24 fps (I think it’s 16 fps for 8 mm). If you film a movie at 12 fps and play it back at 24, the action is sped up. This also explains why you can get blind-sided easier when driving as you get older; your mind isn’t refreshing the visual scene as often as it did when you were young. Of course, you also (hopefully) gain some experience and judgement as you age, so you still might be a better driver. I expect that driving skill is something like a bell curve with age, peaking sometime in middle age.
It would be interesting to study the life-speeding-up-with-age phenomenon among people who are blind, especially among the congenitally blind, and so who do not rely on their visual sense.

Foreign Policy Magazine 4/5/2017: Brazil’s New Problem With Blackness
As the proudly mixed-race country grapples with its legacy of slavery, affirmative-action race tribunals are measuring skull shape and nose width to determine who counts as disadvantaged.
....................
... “These spots are for people who are phenotypically black,” Mailson Santiago, a history major at the Federal University of Pelotas and a member of the student activist group Setorial Negro, told me. “It’s not for people with black grandmothers.”
But in a country as uniquely diverse as Brazil — where 43 percent of citizens identify as mixed-race, and 30 percent of those who think of themselves as white have black ancestors — it’s not immediately clear where the line between races should be drawn, nor who should get to draw it, and using what criteria. These questions have now engulfed college campuses, the public sector, and the courts....

Few have figured it out yet, but the current wokish race fixation–which threatens to be permanent–represents a perverse revenge of the Nazis. The real Nazis, I mean.
Doesn’t surprise me. When I’m in Calif the vast majority of young people I see are Asian or Latino. The really noticeable difference between them is that the Latinos appear to be enjoying themselves more. I think that’s just a cultural characteristic. Meanwhile (and not coincidentally) they’re not going to be the rulers. Asians are as coldly focused on tribal objectives as Jews are, only Asians have the additional benefit of numbers.
The S&M B/W thing is just a mechanism to dispossess, disenfranchise, and ultimately to disappear the remaining white people. Once it’s served its purpose it’ll vanish. The negroes themselves will be an afterthought at best.

TL;DR If San Mateo school district technically doesn’t have any White students, it’s harder for the ADL to accuse it of White Supremacy.

One presumes you mean the Greenwich of 1960, because the current one is quite different. Proximity to NYC has ruined many things, Greenwich among them. And Westport, Wilton, etc etc.

Yes, it would be a tremendous improvement if Hamas warned buildings before they were hit.
How many buildings has Hamas razed to the ground so far?

“you should still call out the blatant bias of journalists like Brian Stelter, the chief media correspondent at CNN”
Yes. I never thought I’d say it: Hip, hip, hurray, for Brian Stelter! These are the first warm feelings I’ve felt for him since his days on Seinfeld.
1. There is no such thing as “international, humanitarian law.” That’s just racial socialist sophistry;
2. I would think that, things being what they are where the bombing was carried out, “ap” and “al-jazeeera” are simply euphemisms for “Hamas,” and the Sabras’ only mistake was in permitting the fake journalists to escape;
3. There is no way Israel could or should meet Joel Simon’s demand, because that would guarantee the murder of its sources (Simon knows that, though I’m sure he supports protecting the confidentiality of Moslem terrorist sources), and would entail putting him in control of its national security; and
4. Note that Simon, clearly a supporter of Holocaust II, has a very Jewish-sounding name. Many of the loudest voices supporting HII are people who were born Jews, but who have devoted themselves to finishing Hitler’s work.

The diversity admin types have a list of the approved Native American (Indian) tribes. Steve has written about it before and economist love to write about how Native American tribes treat membership as a valuable asset that requires the numbers to be limited. That is why Native American tribe members are treated differently when it comes to government 8a minority disadvantage contracting versus blacks or Latinos.
“With no Trump and the covid shutdowns having reduced the amount of other news…”
Don’t be ridic. black attacks on Whites and Asians have been even more out of control than usual over the past 14 months. The assertion that the Wuhan China Virus and “shutdowns” (which never applied to blacks) reduced whatever, was always a ridiculous, racial-socialist talking point. The msm even claimed that China caused people to watch sports and awards show less.

I’ve been a native American my whole life.
I don’t know. Do Hamas do anything at all, except build dumb rockets and wail dramatically for the international media?
Odd for a government.
Do Palestinians really just want their government to be the best in the world at those two things, while locking them into an endless, losing conflict?
It is a sort of an achievement, I suppose. No other place in the world commands even a tenth as much attention for so little.
But why do this?
I’d rather lose a war quickly, than be in the process of losing one, decade after decade after decade.
Good with Western media, but terrible with the facts on the ground. That is the Palestinian movement in a nutshell. Fantasy over reality.
I live here. Everything you said is true. I often go to Burlingame just to soak in the sun and to be honest, the upscale Whiteness of the place! Right next door, Millbrae is very Chinese. Their downtown isn’t focused on overpriced boutiques like Burlingame. Instead, it’s almost all Chinese restaurants. Some very good ones at that. It’s interesting to see how cultural preferences play out in retail. We are not all the same.
“Palestinians seem to be the blacks of the middle east, incapable of being peaceful, productive, and law abiding as a group.”
Israel controls the money supply to Gaza, and the borders. Money greases all wheels. If you can’t start a business and pay people, there’s going to be unemployment. This is being done on purpose to enfeeble the Palestinian economy.
Palestinians abroad account for themselves quite well. “Peaceful, productive and law-abiding” under Israeli control means, “shut-up, sub-human”.

There is a lot of sympathy for Palestinians on this blog’s comments and it’s growing every day. Pro-Palestine activism is the biggest trend on the alt-right now. Being pro-Palestine is the best way to stop zionist subversion of the right. Zio-shills will even express support for Hitler to manipulate us, but they will never support Palestine. It’s the perfect litmus test.
There’s one other high school to check — Aragon HS, located in central San Mateo, also takes in some of Hillsborough, as does Burlingame HS.

I have always pushed back on the idea of racial privilege along with other ridiculous liberal fantasies. After a few years in the Air Force in the early 1970s, I had to fill in a blank regarding my racial heritage. I entered “Quamanian Alute” … that is, an Eskimo from the island of Guam. That followed me through a 20-year career in the Air Force. Making all promotions on schedule suggests my playfulness had no negative impacts on my career. If anyone bothered to check, I hope they had a chuckle.
On second thought, it might have helped me. An Eskimo from the island of Guam would have suffered terrible racial abuse. Right?
Later, in the early 1990s, I was helping my oldest son fill in applications to a number of universities. He did moderately well on the SAT … but nothing worth celebrating. I suggested that he check that he was an Amerindian. Wow! The mailbox almost collapsed with acceptance letters offering full scholarships. But this was a joke from the beginning. At the time, my son and I knew he was en route to a private engineering school without a scholarship. I pained for every penny of his education. It was worth it. He is now a senior program manager for Google. But let’s move on …
Today, the British, in an admirable reductio ad absurdum, are working toward allowing people to change the gender on their birth certificates for five pounds. Imagine the social and legal impacts of crowds scrambling to the counter to change their gender, making an absurdity and a mess of the whole thing. All of this would be a joke of course. The impact of crowds scrambling to change their gender would be all it would take to expose this as the nonsense that it is.
Could this partly explain the recent jump in non-White college admissions?
For example, the Americans in Princeton’s new class of 2025 are 68% non-White.
How much of that number is real? Sure, Asians are smart. And Ivies can gather the truly smart NAMs. But it makes you wonder how many of those new non-White students are actually recent FFWs (Flights From Whites). A few? A lot?
So what should White families do? Is it a smart move for a White to FFW on his college application? At least say “I’m a White Hispanic” or “two+ races”
Whaddya do?
If you look at Burlington’s current athletic photos, the kids look pretty white to me:

And has crime gone up?
The Israelis did this to prevent local and international reporting about their bombing and shelling of civilians. Similar to what the US did inside in Iraq’s cities in 2003.
Obviously not. Journalists would just move to a different building. They would also then be more resolved to make Israel look bad.
