It appears you are not familiar with the current diversity at TJ. We are first-generation German immigrants, and our DD interacts with peers of various ethnic backgrounds, including Russian, Chinese, Indian, and West Indies, in a multifaceted manner reminiscent of the cultural exchange experiences one might hope for in college with international students. Her circle of close friends, which began with TJ freshman projects like iBET, 8th-period clubs, and lacrosse team, has flourished with mutual cultural learning and collective participation in monthly cultural festival celebrations. Just this month, we all volunteered and celebrated the Chinese Lunar New Year, and we are now preparing for the Indian festival of colors, among others.[/quote]
We were also misinformed by racists who said TJ is all Asian Americans.  As the principal mentioned, the last year class of students represented ethnicities from 40 plus countries, of which about 8 are Asian countries.  Racists who tend to be weak in World Geography narrow down their focus to just Asian Americans, when there are two to three dozen other ethnicities ranging from Africa, Caribbean including West Indies, Latin America, North America, Europe, and Australia.

There is a difference between having one or two of a race, and having the majority of the class be one race.[/quote]

Most schools in Virginia are majority white.  Most schools in America are majority white.[/quote]
