[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We looked at WIS. And while they have international diversity, they definitely lacked in having students who present as black or brown. That is just a fact. As an earlier poster said, the 5% black or af-am includes international folks who would identify as black. We were pretty shocked by the “whiteness” of WIS - it is not like there are not wealthy black/brown people from other countries - or even (gasp) from right here in DC. It seems WIS is not attracting them, or maybe is not attractive to them…[/quote] This is simply not correct. Our kids are at WIS, and the classes have good mix of kids of African, South American, East Asian and South Asian, as well as families from mixed nationalities that would be classified as “Caucasian” when ticking a box in a form, but not necessarily White American of European descent sense of the expression. There is a significant amount of diversity in backgrounds and cultures as well. [/quote]
