[quote=Anonymous]I hated being the only Asian kid in my ES classes in NYC. The kids were a mix of low SES AA and Latino and lower middle class white. I was called chink a lot by the AA crew. Kids often pulled on the corners of their eyes to push my buttons. After my parents (whose English was weak) complained to the school through a social worker who speaks their language, my torturers upped their game. My memories of major ES stress motivated me to buy in a district of a school that's majority white. Maybe AA kids in this city would have been tolerant of an Asian classmate, but I'm not willing to find out if this is true. Being the only white kid in the grade and being the only Asian kid in the grade don't compute. We had a surprisingly good experience at DCPS summer school where child was one of the few kids who wasn't AA. But we have to work hard at fixing the problem of child having learned to pepper speech with obscenities there. [/quote]
