[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Spent a week this Summer at a teens’ coed summer camp and noticed this happening.  The African-American kids in particular seemed to really self-segregate and only sit with AA kids during mealtimes.

Our troop is about 40% white, equal amount Asian/Indian, with a few Latinx and AA kids.  But at summer camp 2025, they all just seemed to separate this way.

Why are kids still doing this in 2025?  Any suggestions to stop it? [/quote]

Sure, but that doesn’t make it ok; don’t you agree ?[/quote]

DP but it doesn't make it wrong either. Forcing them to mix is wrong. [/quote]

It’s a red flag for sure. Not associating with any other race than your own is not healthy or admirable in any way no matter what your excuse is. It’s wrong to discriminate based on skin color. [/quote]

You sound obsessed and are viewing it the wrong way, in a negative way. 
You should reflect on that as it probably affects those around you negatively as well. [/quote]
