[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well there’s a difference between being stigmatized for an individual trait — fat, lazy, stupid, etc — and being stigmatized because you’re part of a racial or ethnic group, which is something you can’t escape no matter what you do.[/quote]

Yes well who knows this better than Black people?!?! So it has been my kid’s experience at a predominantly black school that the kids have been the most welcoming and least likely to bully on differences. Some of the posts on this thread sound like they drifted over from 4chan to troll.[/quote]

Both of my now 20 year old stepkids went to racially diverse schools. They both got a lot of grief and bullying from black kids about being mixed race and acting white. One of them wrote her college entrance essay about the negative experiences.  Both of them also say they would be more likely the send their kids to a predominantly white school because they never had any problems with white students.[/quote]

The "acting white" thing is very real and very shameful, not to mention dumb and racist.[/quote]
