Racism is alive and repressing, even in the Texas liberal pinnacle of Austin. Anyone who denies the APD "burn, baby, burn" comments and shootings of non-Anglos are encouraged by racism is wearing blinders. I am a light-skinned non-Anglo, and I was shocked by the amount of open racism in this community when I moved here from the Midwest in the '90s. Racism (and all forms of judging persons based on degrading classifications) has led to political policies which injure those groups. For example, black society has been decimated by laws automatically jailing crack cocaine addicts, leaving many single mothers to fend for themselves. Meanwhile, suburban drug addicts (e.g., Rush Limbaugh) face far less punitive laws. Many non-anglo groups in the US face great and historical disadvantages. This does not mean, though, that they are not capable of overcoming these obstacles. Denying the reality of social power in this country will NOT help them succeed. Bilingual education has been shown much worse at preparing students to excel in school than English as second-language instruction. The same can be applied to teaching Ebonics in a bilingual system. All cultures have intrinsic value, but if the population wants to compete within the broader US society they need to learn the rules of the game. And one of the most important rules is: education is power.
