Us as well.

And from what I can tell, at least one third of our school...[/quote]

Two words: white privilege. The truth is most minority families can’t rely on mommy and daddy’s money to attend private school. [/quote]

Well, it’s a little racist to assume they can’t.

There aren’t tons, but there are enough minority families with second generation wealth (especially in dc) for you to come off a little tone deaf. [/quote]

+1. The black families at our school are way richer than my white FA kid. I actually consider it kind of a bonus that my kid does not equate melanin with poverty![/quote]

Agree.  Middle class Black people don't usually choose private school anyhow - it's usually the much wealthier ones who do.  And there are no diversity scholarships - meaning, they don't give you money just because you are Black - so many are paying full freight.  I'm a first generation college grad and also a lawyer.  I've thought about sending my child to private but honestly, there is just not enough wealth in the family tree to fall back on and I have to help my parents financially here and there.  Maybe my grandkids will have that option - that is something I would love to be able to do for them.[/quote]
