[quote=Anonymous]I was a middle class white kid at primarily black/latino schools, though not in DC. I did not notice it in K-3 (or maybe I did and I don't remember?). But it gets a little weird after that, I'll be honest. It's particularly confusing if you're in the gifted program (our gifted program started in 3rd grade) and the gifted class is mostly white while the rest of the school is not. I think that separation sends a weird message to young kids. Also, I definitely always felt like all the non-white kids were cooler than I was, like I was a little kid version of Dave Chappelle's impression of a white guy.[/quote]
