[quote=Anonymous]This is OP. Thanks for the responses. Just to clarify, DD is coming from another K-8 and is at a high school and the school only starts in 9th grade. There is an affinity group but my DD is not especially interested in joining. However, there are other groups in which these other Black girls participate. It is not an issue of her isolating herself because she thinks she is better than anyone else or doesn’t believe that racism exists, etc. We are very frank with he about race issues and she understands. Her current friend group just organically happened this way and as a mom, I like the way that they treat her and include her. I am not keen on her sticking her neck out to gain the favor of the other Black girls only to have them reject her or have to jump through hoops because they have misconceptions about her. I will honor how she chooses to proceed but am keeping a close eye on it. [/quote]
