Paraphrased: "Look. I'm trying to get my kid into Stuyvesant. 500+ Asian kids admitted vs only 3 Black kids sucks. I see how much anti-Black racism there is in NYC. It's awful. We should reduce that. I'm with you! But capping the number of Asian students admitted doesn't do that. It only hurts me." "End cash bail? Yes! Tell me where to donate. Eliminate NYPD arrest quotas? I'm in! Black Lives Matter. Free childcare and school meals to eliminate food insecurity? Great ideas! Tell me who to vote for. Black history curriculum and anti-racism? Great ideas! Equal access to AP classes? Yes!" "Look. My kid is smart and works hard and your kid is smart and works hard. But your kid doesn't get a fair chance, because of all the racism. So let's reduce the racism? I don't see how keeping all the racism but holding my kid back too, is great for either of us. I hope that's not racist to say?"
