There's been an outcry recently that only 7 out of 900 students were that made it into Stuyvesant school in New York. It's the top elite school in the entire state of New York. Even Alexandria Ocasio Cortez cried afoul when the numbers came out.
The way these schools work is that you have to rank among the highest on their testing system and that's after passing the test to even try out for these elite schools, Stuyvesant being the best out of them all.
AOC complained that the majority of New Yorkers are either or latino, but 75% of those who got into Stuyvesant are Asian descent. She mentioned systemic prejudices, but it was found out that even the majority of the Asian students who got into Stuyvesant are from low income families.
she wants the Stuyvesant demographics to reflect that if the state's demographics and not have one particular group hog up the majority of the school.
