[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you’re white, Ross is a good school. There is very little cultural diversity and the majority of the white families are racist and have anti-black sentiments. A friend of mine sent his kid to Ross and the white parents refused to let their kids play with that little boy because he is black. [/quote]

Calling bullsh*t on this.

Ross/Dupont is one of the most progressive areas in the city.

I walk by the school everyday and see kids of all races playing together.

Yeah I'm a non-white person and I've only felt accepted.

The school does have a notably low at-risk population, like around 5 percent.

But the other families fall in a range, it's a dense neighborhood with lots of condo/apartment dwellers in addition to huge townhouse dwellers, so feels relatively down to earth.[/quote]

I didn’t say POC, I said black. Black and POC are not the same thing and should never be grouped together. Black people and POC have vastly different experiences in this city and the country. The interests and experiences of POC are more aligned and synced with those white people than Foundational Black Americans.  [/quote]
