Default Minority Students’ Popularity Found to Fall as Grades Rise
Quote:
A Harvard University economist offers evidence in a new study to bolster the controversial theory that high-achieving black and Latino teenagers are shunned by their peers in school for “acting white.”

Being smart and getting good grades is “acting white” now?

It's been like that since the 80s.

"Shunned"? Is that what they call getting your ass kicked these days? It's the real idiots that are dangerous, not the posers who only pretend to be stupid so they don't become a target.

What are they considering less popular?

No longer invited to join gangs?

No one to pour out a 40 for you?

Not invited to intersection takeovers?

No shotgun seating for the drive-by?

It's much easier to be lazy then it is to be industrious. Kids tend to go where it's easy. Especially when their culture does not value higher education.

I would think thats when the high achievement minorities get welcomed into the fold of all the other
high achievers (whites-Asians) & are seen as sellouts to their former peers .

I would bet that any social status that they lose amongst their former peers , will be increased 3x
as they gain popularity among the higher achievers (whites-Asians) .

Which would also prove high achievers are not racists .

Seems they don't want equality by raising themselves up, but rather having everyone else drop to their level.

Total bullshit. I wasn't popular in school because of my high grades. Nobody knew a damn thing about my grades because people are always jealous of high grades, no matter the color of your skin. Popularity for me was a result of playing sports. For others it was boozing it up at parties. This is yet another racist bullshit hypothesis.
