Lowell Is almost all Asian so it does have a lack of diversity I don't see this as an issue but it's not diversity The stupid community note writer doesn't know the difference between diversity and minority 🤦🏻♂️ https://t.co/9aF8SMyt5T
San Francisco Chronicle is fact-checked for slamming famous selective public school Lowell 'lack of diversity' - even though most students are Asian https://t.co/oZEVdrNZMd https://t.co/8zM8DY4U8c
Lowell is 52.4% Asian. That does not mean the school isn’t “diverse.” “Asian American” is, in many ways, a meaningless racial classification comprised of dozens of distinct ethnic groups. But I get that’s probably hard for the racialists over at @sfchronicle to understand. https://t.co/poJqC4wLal
First, the fact the Chronicle doesn’t consider Asians diverse is crazy. Second, we should have more specialized public school programs like Lowell in SF, instead of in-fighting over Lowell, so every child can explore their passions. https://t.co/xYVz9Nf8Hf
Lowell is 52% Asian. You just hate Asians, you racist fucks. https://t.co/JcGl1hdm57
There's no lack of diversity at Lowell high school. When I went to Lowell in the 1990s, other schools such as Saint Ignatius or Sacred Heart were far less diverse. For the Chronicle it's not that Lowell isn't diverse, it's that Lowell's not the kind of diversity they want... https://t.co/UqgW22VHsj
The lack of diversity at Lowell has long been a blemish on San Francisco’s long-held academic crown jewel. Based on current trends, and a lack of any planned policy changes, that’s unlikely to change anytime soon. https://t.co/MlKkYBHG97
