[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]people of similar backgrounds group together, race/class/religion/politics etc it's completely normal and expected[/quote] Are they though, particularly in this area? This has not been either of my kids experiences in school or among their friends outside of school at all. They are in high school and have never had a group of friends with a predominant racial profile.[/quote] In my experience when white people say that, they are exaggerating. Not on purpose. They see 2-3 non-white kids in the otherwise all-white 10-12 person friend and think “Look how diverse!” Once I went to pick up my biracial DD from a pool party. There were eight girls. Two were mixed race. The others were white girls of various hair colors. The hosting mom snapped a photo of the girls and said “It’s just like a Benneton ad.” She honestly meant it. It really looked incredibly diverse to her.[/quote]
