she's white. there was a picture of her in the story earlier. its been updated. or you can google her. i do not think her transit complaints carry less weight because she's white, i certainly hope mine don't because i'm white, but the basic point - ridership is probably close to 90% black stands. if you hopped on any bus or train to ask someone's thoughts and came away with only the perspective of a white millenial with a graduate level education you fucked up somehow.

Maybe centering white people on an issue that disproportionately affects Black people is ... offensive? There is also a bigger picture issue with horrible bus service. Car ownership helps poor people escape poverty because it allows them to get to better paying jobs https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2014/04/01/why-the-poor-need-better-access-to-cars/ I'm honestly not sure if we could design a transit system that efficiently takes current riders to their workplaces. Bus transit was horrible under Glendenning, Ehrlich, O'Malley and Hogan. I don't see it changing under Wes Moore, and a lot of transit people focus on expensive rail proposals rather than trying to address the problems in the bus system that the vast majority of transit riders use.

I just read the whole article, unless I missed something, it doesnt mention race or skin color anywhere in that article.

Hey OP, what color is your skin?

.....what? Do buses work differently depending on the riders melanin? Why are you so angry

How do you know she is white? Did I miss something? I think middle class can be inferred based on job description. I'm assuming (maybe incorrectly) that this is one of the people that they asked to send in tips as part of the Better Baltimore series; follow up maybe?

Lol not sure how you got that from what I said. I even said my b as in “my bad” admitting my first thought was wrong. You don’t have good reading comprehension

Now people slam their brakes and slow down to 40 when they come up on one of the 2 cameras. You are good under 62mph.

You don't have great reading comprehension do you?

Fewer accidents from what I can tell, but I can't tell you how much I dislike the people that slam on their brakes with the cameras, especially after the flash has already gone off. But hey, at least the cameras aren't triggering for folks doing a touch over 55 mph like the construction ones on 95 have been doing lately...

Yeah but the posted speed is 50 so people still likely routinely do 65-70.

Worse, because now everybody slams on their brakes near them.

lolsob

So should they not report on the documents they obtained?

I’ll definitely be checking them out. Cheers!

I am OK waiting for good work. Thank you!

Seriously lol so dumb

Thanks!!

I got a couple warnings when they first went in (which I really like that they had that warning period)

bro just make less trash, gg ez

Vietnam was under suzerainty of China for a long time, and Singapore is majority Chinese. In the rest of Southeast Asia, the Chinese are a minority -- they often been called the Jews of the area -- and Confucianism doesn't have much pull. (Most Malay Chinese are Hokkien, not Han, btw, but Han Chinese was a made up ethnicity anyway. Nonetheless, my point holds: there is no singular Asian culture.

And back to the original topic, it seems you are comparing Asian immigrants and their children's performance in school and our own city's largely Black student body. Even if it held as a counterpoint to what I originally wrote (which it doesn't), do you really think that's a fair comparison? Koreans are traditionally neck and neck with Greeks as being the most educated immigrants. The first wave of Vietnamese immigrants -- largely Catholic mandarins attached to the allied South Vietnamese government -- did much better academically than the second wave (the less affluent).

But, more importantly, with the exception of refugees (Vietnamese, Lao, Khmer), Asian immigrants have already gone through a self-selection equivalent to being admitted to a magnet school by the very act if immigrating and had the wealth to get here. (Note that the population of China is far less educated than our own.) Your comparing this filterd population with a broader population who was denied education of any sort and their labor stolen for 200 years, and then had another century of Apartheid, before being economically isolated in "freedom"?

Please. Let me know when you've found those poor, high-performing schools, btw.
