Yeah, as someone who went to one of these "terrible urban public school districts" in a 50% black school - it's a bullshit, racist fear.

I went from my shitty ass physics class to taking one of the hardest freshman physics classes in the country. It is manageable, they are just afraid of cultural inhomogeneity.

There were at least 10 Black kids at my school who could have succeeded at Harvard.
