Relax, OP. Racism is everywhere, and the schools you mention are not worse than any of the others.

I believe the worse are diverse public schools in low-to-average-income neighborhoods. Want to know why? Because racism comes from parents. Parents who have kept to their own communities, because of low education and no need for any sort of perception check, will reflexively express the racial or religious stereotypes they have learned from their own parents. Kids go to school and repeat them when they see other kids who don't look like them, and the cycle starts again. No one holds back. And the school administrations do nothing because they are dealing with teen dropouts, families in crisis, and gang-related violence. Racist or religious bullying, by comparison, is not a priority.

Racism is alive and well in the more tony, culturally-exposed circles, be they in public or private schools, but at least it's tempered by a measure of self-reflection and a desire for political correctness. Deep down inside, they might not want your kid to marry their kid, but they'll fight tooth and nail for increased financial aid on the school board and will crack down on visible signs of racism. See what I mean?
