[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the "unfriendly" mom is someone who has a middle income and feels intimidated by the wealthier families who send their kids to Whitman.  And she has decided they are all "unfriendly". They may well be, I don't know, but it seems terribly narrow and personal a perspective. Also not very focused on the academics. Again.[/quote]

There's a lot of evidence on this board that suggests it is not a friendly place especially for minorities with all the nazi symbols and black face incidents.[/quote]

I don't think one or two idiots spraying the school is ever a reflection of the populace of that school. 
In this particular case were they not found to be ex-students anyway? General losers who were prosecuted for the graffiti?[/quote]

There are so many other similar incidents involving students there that one is pretty insignificant. Remember the N* word passes or the blackface incident? The lack of diversity at these schools seems to foster these problems. [/quote]

No. There are not so many incidents, which is why this one got so much notice. And we are talking about one school Whitman. We are not discussing racist incidents at multiple schools. However if you want to be accurate and specific I'm sure we'd all like to see the details you seem to know about.[/quote]

Yes, there are "so many incidents."
