Can I ask why you wouldn't just make a point to introduce yourself to these families, ask for their contact information so that you can reach out to have them over to get to know them better versus going to the principal?

It seems like the first step would be to actually do what you are saying you would like to report that no one else is doing and do it en masse.

From your initial dinner party you can add them to your list of people you invite to all your social events and introduce them to your social circle. [/quote]

Can I just point out that you sound like someone who has never dealt with prejudice?  OP said in her first posting that she has reached out to other families for get toge hers and playdates and only one other mom had responded.

So what would you do if you invited people over, and all but one person kept saying no?  It could be because you're Black, poor, fat. Muslim, whatever.  The sad bottom line is that people with prejudice do exist and sometimes they are concentrated in one place.  [/quote]

I think you misunderstood who my post was directed at perhaps?

I was responding to the PP (who I included in my response, you omitted that part in yours) who is not the OP. They stated that due to this thread they were going to contact the principal at their particular school to reach out to minorities/unincluded families and I was questioning why they couldn't do that on a personal level.
