[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP! I have read this whole thread. As someone who actually lives in DC (unlike many of the posters here, I suspect) I think you're making a good choice. I suspect you send your DD to Thompson, which is a great school. If not there are lots more like it. FWIW, I am a white Hispanic/Latina. I attended a majority black title one high school and got a stellar education. I was one of the only white kids and the only Latina. I continued to be the only Latina in my elite grad school, which was way more traumatizing than being the only white person/Latina in high school. Unlike many of my colleagues, I'm not afraid of black people and don't equate associating with black people with making a poor choice in life. I suspect most of the racist comments are from suburban parents who fled DC (oh no black kids!) for some suburban school. We are also happy with our majority minority charter and have no plans to move. Chin up Op and thanks for this!-[/quote]
