[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is our kids’ experience. They attended a 50%+ URM (mostly Latino), high FARMS high school. We are Latino as well (both parents raised in Latin America), but not FARMS, and were able to support our kids’ many extracurriculars-mostly sports. Their friend groups in high school were mostly non-URMs because those were the students they met/crossed paths with the most in advanced classes, club sports and other ECs.

One of our kids is at UVA, while most of their friend group is white, they do have friends from different backgrounds: Black, East Asian, Middle Eastern, South Asian. Their Greek organization, is probably about 20% non-White.

Thank you, and I appreciate your sharing of your lived-experience; I truly do.  Could you, however, try to be a little more inclusive, by use of Latinx in place of “Latino” ?  It is important.

TIA !

Op.  Are you seriously telling a Latino family how to describe themselves? [/quote]
