In regards to other students and families at your private school, people will let you see what they want you to see.  I’m very selective about the personal details I share about my life because I know/seen not everyone has good intentions.  So you won’t know what I may or may not have in common with other African-American families at the school.

[b]The funny thing about race across different socioeconomic classes is that the one thing you do have in common is the stereotype.  Whether are the AA with UMC family or AA from LMC family, the stereotypes you face are the same and the racism can look similar.[/b] [/quote]

This is quite unfortunate and true.  Why is it OK to benefit from this if you are say, black but not OK to benefit from this if you are Asian (where a poor-performing Asian Kid is compared to other Asians who are high-performing and held to that same standard)?  Not trying to put down AA at all, just trying to understand.[/quote]

In colleges where Asians are under-represented, Asians [b]do[/b] benefit from it.[/quote]
