I work in a tutoring center in a mostly Black neighborhood and yes, my high schoolers have said that they don't want to get an A on their project because they don't want to be like "those white nerds in class." Seriously?
I told one of my students (who is failing, but plays ball well) that NBA (or MLB & NFL) recruitment is not comming to HS anymore (I don't think so), so you at least have to get to college to be really scouted.
