      huh is that a thing in the States? At least in my particular case, pretty much anyone that got above X score on a standardized test qualified (majority of the gifted kids in that school happened to be asian). Like I know people who even gamed the system by retaking the test at a later age just to get into one of the programs.

      Here in Klanada I remember being the only black person in the gifted program, although there was only three black families that sent kids to my school in the entire time I was there, and the gifted program had disproportionate (~1/3 in a city with a ~3% population according to census) east asian representation.

      hmm, my gifted program was only like 7 people. Maybe yours was just higher placement classes? (Which 100% are segregated in many places)
