[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You go elsewhere.

I feel bad saying it, but it's the reality. Your white, wealthy kid might be ok in PreK, but even by K the other kids will make his life miserable. We had to leave a school that was great on paper, but socially horrible. Some people will remember me posting before, about the kids who invited my five-year-old "get your white ass out of here".

That's terrible.

Does this hold true with just inner city DC or do other races or cultures welcome Caucasians more ( I am thinking maybe the Hispanic population in south arlington and other primarily hispanic areas)[/quote]

I cannot envision my Hispanic children or their friends saying that to anyone, and have never heard of anyone doing so.  Seems more like a black white issue.[/quote]

Kids parrot what they hear at home.  People of all kinds hold bias against others.  However, it is ignorant to think that ALL members of a group are like X just because one member does X.  If you've met one black person (or white person, or Hispanic person) you've met one black person (or white person, or Hispanic person).  [/quote]
