I'm not saying that they're not a minority; I'm saying they're not a disadvantaged minority. And, in the larger context of TJ, there's an ongoing battle over the extremely low level of black and Hispanic population (which are largely disadvantaged) versus the extremely high level of Asian population.

Again, extremely narrow definition of advantage.

Are you serious? What do you know about the families? And what right do you have to dismiss our families as "advantaged" and thus deserving of having awards kept secret from us. This is the kind of two-faced callousness that has gotten the school into this trouble. Let me guess? You're also a member of the TJ Alumni Action Group, which has targeted our Asian families with racist stereotypes like the kind you are perpetuating.
