Why would you think my black child would make your little snowflake not want to go to college? I have multiple advanced degrees. My child is in AP classes and scores in the 95th percentile and above on most standardized tests. She in no  way thinks that not going to college is an option. But you wouldn't want to accept her as a friend for your kids because she is "from a different background." 
It is so depressing to know that supposedly liberal white parents think this way when their kids befriend my daughter. And you wonder why all the black kids sit together in the cafeteria.[/quote]

Why do you think it’s your black child PP is talking about.  I’m a NP to this thread, but I agree with the earlier poster that it’s not about the color of the skin,  it’s about the home training and culture. Ethiopians kids are hardworking and I have no problems with my DCs befriending black Ethiopian kids. I have more of an issue with him befriending the Black kid whose older brother is a high school dropout that plays female-bashing rap music, drinks and curses around his younger brother and his friends.

It’s not about race.  It’s about values and influence.  I wouldn’t want him to be with a white kid  with an older sibling with similar attitudes and behaviors.[/quote]
But you don't know the home details of these kids when you decide where to live, see me at school drop off, etc. PP (and you) would have to actually be willing to be around and get to know those who are different from you in order to know what those kids are like. Stereotype much? You are ok with Ethiopian kids - because all Ethiopian kids are hardworking and never get into trouble? But then mention some hypothetical black kid (fyi, Ethiopians are black too) whose brother is a drop out. These are the kind of ridiculous and biased assumptions my child has to deal with in so called liberal MoCo.[/quote]
