Peters (2021, this issue) article addresses the arguably most pressing issue in gifted education to date: achieving equity among the disadvantaged gifted, whom Peters identified as Black, Latinx, and Native Americans; students with special educational needs and/or served through English language learner programs; and/or coming from low-income households. Moreover, Peters pointed out that there are some students from Asian (of Chinese and Korean ethnicity) and White racial groups who are overrepresented in gifted and talented (G & T) programs.
