[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you both!! She goes to a DC private but not conservative. She tends to be more conservative then most at her school. I was so mad when the counselor said that to her. Like, let her decide!!! She isn't going to like a big party/Greek life SEC school. I'm thinking the counselor assumes certain things because my DD is AA. Odd....[/quote]

Report that counselor! This is MORE than a microaggression. It is overtly racist.[/quote]

What a IDIOT I am. I never even thought that and assumed it was because she is very outgoing and into sports. She made it sound like these schools are full of weird kids who only like to study with no skills. I am not a college grad so I have no clue about liberal arts colleges other than my daughter telling me she likes the size and they are good if you want to study econ. [/quote]

DP.  You’re not an idiot.  Good for you for not immediately assuming this was a “racist” comment.  Sounds like the counselor just assumed that a sporty, outgoing kid wouldn’t enjoy being surrounded by quirky theater kids.  I know mine wouldn’t.  If anything, I find it refreshing that the counselor talked to your daughter as an individual, rather than seeing her only as an AA and not being candid because of that.[/quote]
