[quote=Anonymous]Agree with the PP.  I went to a lily white school and was one of maybe 5 non-white kids there.  It was tough but I found good friends in HS (who were white) and I figure everyone faces challenges growing up.

I went to one of the most diverse colleges in the country.  Not my rating, it's been ranked as such and prides itself on its diversity.  I found that it was intensely more segregated than anywhere I have ever been.  People got into their groups and stayed there.  And trust me, there was plenty of racial animosity.

My kids are biracial and I recognize that it can be an issue.

OP, your issue is more about socioeconomic status in that area.  Pretty sure you don't end up with many lower income families there!

My kids have various friends, and many of them are biracial.

This is a diverse area and it's not that hard to come across relationships with people of different races at all.

If your kid is meeting people outside of the school, then school will not be the only peer group.

If you dislike the idea of sending your biracial kid to a white school, then you can address that.[/quote]
