[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's kind of funny that people are assuming a white kid is going to grow up more enlightened if they're in the minority at school. The most racist white person I know is someone who attended junior high and high school where white kids were in the minority and often got targeted/jumped by the other kids due to their race.

Put differently, there are a lot of POC in this thread painfully recounting the racism they endured as "one of the only" in school. If you think your kid would be spared that because they're white, then you actually *might* be racist, because you apparently believe that there's a profound difference in human nature between white kids and POC kids.

This is true. One white kid in my neighborhood told me that attending DCPS K-12 turned him into a hard core republican.
He just graduated from college and is still a republican even though his family is hard core democrat [/quote]

The notion that going to school with black kids made this kid support the party of domestic terrorism is silly.  I expect this traces back to some personal mental problem.

Lots of Black and Latinx kids are in tiny minorities in their schools and they don’t come out as terrorists.  I highly doubt that DCPS turned this kid into a terrorist sympathizer (i.e. hard core Republican).

I do think that going through DCPS can make one skeptical of government (like I am) and fiscally conservative (like I am) but that has nothing to do with being a Republican these days.[/quote]
