(And what do your ILs think of white people? I know lots of white people at YY.)[/quote]

My ILs are Old Country.  They think a Chinese school has many Chinese-speaking kids and an ethnic administror or two, with the rest at least speaking Chinese.  Othewise, it's not a Chinese school.  We just walked in off the street, we don't know all that much, but it wasn't a welcoming experience.  Our friends who left tell us that, without an ethnic administrator, bilingual families aren't always sure who to turn to in a jam.  A sea of white and black parents is going to be a hard sell to my wife.  We can't be alone among DC Chinese in this regard (or future DC Chinese anyway).  If that's helpful info for you guys, great, if not, no worries.  We're looking at the other language immersion schools, and moving IB for Oyster.

Okay, but what the heck does that have to do with your IL's perception of AAs attending college.  Or was it your subtle way of saying that because YY has so many AA students, the school could not possibly be educating them to to attend college.  I just don't understand the reference, and more than one person have asked you to explain the relevancy.
