[quote=Anonymous]I'm in a somewhat unique position, raising BOTH white kids and kids of color (adopted, for the Nosy Nancys). Finding a diverse neighborhood was paramount, even if it left my white kids in more of a "minority" position. Growing up white in America, they are not going to lack for white role models in terms of teachers, administrators, doctors, dentists, elected officials, etc. Living somewhere that allows my Black kids to see people like themselves in both authority positions and going about their everyday lives? And where they can get their hair cut and every store carries products that work for their skin? It's great. FWIW, my white kids have experienced the tiniest bit of racial exclusion (of the playground variety), and their peer group is probably whiter than I'd like it to be, but overall it has been good for everyone.
