Changing the Terminology
Previous Entry :: Next Entry

Read/Post Comments (1)

Often it's a matter of terminology, which seems like just a name change, to alter the framework of a discussion.

Case in point:

Our local school district publishes a chart showing the backgrounds of students in our schools.

Hispanic.................74.3%
African American 10.2%
White...................... 8.6%
Asian...................... 3.8%
Filipino................... 2.4%
and the rest are "other", very small tenths of percentages.

Only the old-timers talk about "minorities" any more. The correct reference phrase is "people of color".

Integrating the educational experience is now a question of distributing children of no color equitably. I guess.
Just so you know.
