[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I would prefer a good mix of ethnicities. That's my ideal. They have this now in a school in MoCo. About 50% white, 25% Asian, approx 10% black and 10% Hispanic, and some FARMS kids. To me, this is a good mix. I want my kids to be exposed to human differences from an early age. [/quote]

Oh my...you do realize that this 'diverse' breakdown of yours conveniently leaves 50% of the pop white which is 100% larger than the next sized group. Too many people who congratulate themselves for seeking diversity really want to comfortably stay in the majority and just have a few friends from other races. [/quote]

OTOH to a white person the differences among say, appalachian origin anglo-saxons, Irish Americans, and Jews may be significant enough that 50% white doesn't quite feel like being a majority.   OTOH to an Asian American the differences among Korean Americans, Chinese Americans, and Viet Nameses Americans may matter more.

Its difficult for example, to find a school in this area with even 10% of Jewish Americans that is majority non-white.  Except TJ I suppose. [/quote]
