[quote=Anonymous]My white child attends Duke Ellington, where she is a minority, but I would agree that there is a difference between being the ONLY white kids and being one of a group of white kids. For my child, who came from a majority-white school, it was her first experience being in a racial minority at school. And guess what? The white kids flock together, just like the black kids do when THEY are in the minority. It's not that they don't want to interact with kids of other races -- on the contrary, my daughter has friends from all backgrounds at DESA -- but they need or want that touchstone of common identity.
