All of this about majority/minority areas and urban schools is correct. However, maybe 20 or so years ago, there was a movement afoot to move Marquette and Marquette High to the burbs. MU considered a move to the area where Concordia is now located—which had done the same thing. To the credit of the Jesuits, the decision was to stay urban within the heart of the city so as not to abandon the neighborhoods. The point is there was a decision to stay put and minister to the neighbors as well as educating college students.
Terrible mistake. Shoulda bolted like Concordia did. Enrollment woulda bin thrivin'. Furdermoore, DiUlio wuz wright. Close down da Ave., hey?
My point was these urban schools were built a long time ago and they were not built in minority areas. They became minority areas over time.
I live in LA and have never seen an Asian only league. Maybe in your hood but I have never seen it. More importantly, who cares?
Right? I cannot believe this was even brought up. Perhaps the most random, bizarre, point ever made on Scoop. However, we are all better off going forward knowing these leagues exist in L.A.
So he is an Asian American. TYBtw, not a bad choice for MU if Wojo left.
Wrong as usual. The Jesuits intentionally built their schools in urban areas which have always been minority areas. The difference was in 1881 it wasn't black and Hispanic neighborhoods, but German or Italian or Polish neighborhoods. I use this argument all the time talking about the school where I work (Racine St Cats). Sure, it's founding in the 1860s was to serve immigrant German girls, but now it serves a much different, but equally oppressed "minority" community. The same is true of most urban Catholic schools K-12-university
Huh? When did Israel become considered part of Asia and individuals of Jewish ancestry become Asian?Nah, Todd isn’t ready for MU. No midwestern connections, only one year as a HC, ties to Bruce Pearl. Now, the guy who Todd took over for, definitely.

TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
What continent do you think Israel is on?
I never said anything about urban...Jesuits largely built in urban areas (though not exclusively)...but it is not wrong what I said about minorities. They built them in urban areas becaus3 they were population centers and had $$$$$$ which the good old Jebbies and Catholic orgs were always (still do) seeking.I’d recommend you read thishttp://www.larramendi.es/i18n/catalogo_imagenes/grupo.cmd?path=1000216A few others I can share as well.
Basketball isn’t big in the Asian-American culture in the first place (sports in general are often frowned upon) which leads to a limited number of candidates for jobs.
From the book you linked, in the section titled "The Urban College," p 93."The Jesuit community associated with a college in a large urban location, e.g. Lima orMexico City, was also involved in ministries to the Indians and in the case of Lima to theblack slaves living in the city. The college was not only for “teaching” but also had a focusof apostolic activity throughout a city. Sodalities or confraternities were of specialimportance in establishing a Christian elite within the Spanish, Indian, and Blackpopulations. Streetcorner preaching was one of the major activities of the Jesuits in Limaand the purpose of this was to go out to people who normally would not go to church.Each day a group of Jesuits would leave their house, walk in procession through the streetsof Lima with bell ringing and cross uplifted and attract groups of Indians and blacks towhom the Jesuits would preach."
Dude, Israel is a part of Asia. Your best friend is a dual citizen of Israel and the US. He is also a proclaimed member of the Asian American Coaches Association.Is Bruce Pearl's ancestry from Israel? Or Europe? Is Ed Cooley considered not an African American because he was born in the USA? I mean really....https://mfa.gov.il/MFA/AboutIsrael/Maps/Pages/Israel-and-the-Region.aspx
Israelis are not classified as Asian. They wouldn’t even consider themselves “Asian.” But a supposed adult who changes his handle to that of a seventeen year old male, well, I’m not sure what to call that...other than creepy.
You've apparently never met a Filipino.
