[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why? Realistically, your kid is probably going to always be surrounded by majority UMC white people. Or people of different races from middle class up. [/quote] Not everyone stays in the suburbs. More and more young people are branching out. My daughter is in a BFA program in NYC. Her classmates and friends are from everywhere and all income levels. She works a part time job where most people weren’t born here. At one point my daughter and her closest friends had boyfriends all from different countries. My 5th grader has friends born in Africa, Russia and many South Americans. What you’re describing about the kid never leaving his bubble is outdated. Not everyone will be in a big city but as more people move around for various reasons there will be more blending of families and friends. Hopefully the next generation understands that they don’t need to hide in a neighborhood set apart for large income people to keep safe. [/quote]
