[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see this at my kids’ private school, but financial status has something to do with it also.  The wealthier African-American kids integrate and are part of their friend groups.  These kids live in the same neighborhoods, attended the same K-8 schools, vacation in the same spots, etc. as the white kids.

The African American kids who I presume are scholarship kids based on their addresses stick together.

I’ve assumed this has more to do with commonalities than race, but maybe I’m wrong.[/quote]

Ok this is pathetic.  These children make their friendships based on the ones who vacation in the same spots and live in the same neighborhoods?  [b] The lower income Black kids don’t hang out with the higher income Blacks[/b]?    I think you don’t know what you’re talking about.   And you didn’t mention White kids.  Do they also choose their friends by vacation spots and financials? [/quote]

They don't

There have been threads about this in the Private School forum.

Probably about what is familiar to them.
