[quote=Anonymous]My kid has been attending a school where they are the only child of their race in most classrooms, for the last 4 years. So out of necessity, her friends have all been of other races. Most of the kids do not seem to care about race. However, the school is about 80% one race and some of the kids of this race don't mingle with any of the kids of other races. There is no racist behavior, they just self select into friend groups that are just their race. Next year my kid will be attending a much more diverse school. No race makes up more than 50% of the school and for the first time, she will have a critical mass of kids of her same race. I am curious to see what happens. She already has three friends at the school -- two are mixed race and one is our race. I don't have specific hopes or expectations, I'm honestly just interested in it as a social experiment.[/quote]
