[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. I hated being an extreme minority as a kid so I’m not doing that to my kids. Unless it’s a white kid. In that case, I think you get enough positive depictions who look like you just by living in the US, so it’s ok if that doesn’t happen at school.[/quote] My child is white and was in the minority (1-2 kids like him in class). Nobody picked on him but somehow he had few friends. I thought maybe it was more SES related, but! He is now at a school with many white and Asian kids and some hispanic kids sprinkled in and his friends are mostly white (some hispanic). I have no idea why that is, but will try to stick to majority white schools just for him to have a good “selection” of friends. [/quote]
