[quote=Anonymous]I must be in a bubble or something because I don't feel this way at all toward AA children. I don't look at color or race but rather at the child and the family and whether I think they are good and nice people and a good influence on my child and whether my child has things in common with them and they enjoy each others company.  My child is at Beauvoir and has several AA friends that my child adores and has forged very close friendships with. I have become friends with a few of the moms but they have never expressed feeling this to me - maybe they wouldn't tell me that. Regardless, I feel so sad for you posters that are feeling this way. I don't know what schools you are at but I have heard certain schools are much more welcoming to having a diverse community. I believe Beauvoir is one of those schools, as well as Sidwell, GDS, Maret? etc... I only hope these situations improve for you all and people get with the times!! I just read an article that 50% of babies born in this country are of Latino descent, so once again proving that this country is an ever-changing demographic and we need to focus more on our similarities than differences. That's what our children do and I have learned more from seeing through my children's eyes on this topic than anyone else and am grateful for that. [/quote]
