[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a similar question.  I was wondering what it would be like to attend a majority white school.  Will all the kids be focused on sports and popularity?

See how stupid you sound, OP?[/quote]

LOL, well I did try that argument on my spouse and it was received with "I grew up that way, know how to handle it and and am ok with that".

What are we to expect coming from different cultures that we aren't familiar with. When the minority is the majority is there less of an effort to be inclusive? As someone who identities as Caucasian, we were taught to be inclusive and sensitive to other cultures and races because of the Caucasian Majority, but what if you are the other side, the minority?

Anyways, I am very interested in this when selecting schools. Overall I think that in this area it is the norm and in fact the recent FCPS report stated that Caucasian is not the majority anymore and the percentage continues to drop at a rapid pace. Outside of uber rich areas such as McLean, Potomac, Great Falls or far out places Ashburn etc... I think this is something that will be a common finding. I am seeking experiences from people in this very situation and if it's something of a concern that will be a negative to my kids.[/quote]
