[quote=Anonymous]Although I agree that prestigious private schools should seek economic diversity, please do not assume if you are AA and not poor you do not face discrimination. We are a middle class AA family with DC at well known private schools in the DC area. They have faced racism at school at times. Outside of school they have many economic advantages, but they are certainly not immune to racism. For example many white people have commented to me that my DC were admitted to these schools because they are black. They have no idea of our childrens' grades and test scores. So in addition to economic diversity, I believe that racial diversity remains important, not as compensation for discrimination, but because a true learning community needs to have people with a diversity of perspectives.[/quote]
