Looking for 'diverse' schools doesn't mean there will be no racial animosity.  You fill find plenty.

Help your kids find kind, supportive friends (of any race) and don't worry about it.[/quote]

I'm the PP who you're responding to.  What exactly in the post you quoted are you rolling your eyes at?  Finding supportive friends?

Another biracial poster who agrees that schools with 'diversity' don't shelter you from people with racial animosity.  [/quote]
And no one is saying that, no matter how many times you try to make the conversation about that.
Racial diversity ensures that your child does not feel isolated as the only one who is different.[/quote]
Exactly !!!!!!
So many damn folk just want to, in some round damn about way, make the point that POC can be racist(NO SHIT) or to justify making their child the "only" in some particular situation.[/quote]

[b]So many damn folk don't seem to understand that your skin color does NOT make you the 'only' unless you let it. [/b] Even if my kid is the only biracial kid, he has found other kids (of different skin color) that he is friends with.

So many damn folk also don't understand that being around people of the same skin color does not mean that Your Kid will never feel left out.  It's just not that simple.

My priority is to teach my kid that his skin color doesn't matter.  If it matters to other people, that is their issue and he needs to figure out how to navigate that (just like LGBQT people do, just like fat people do, just like Muslims do).

That statement is ignorant AF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And I bet you would not say that if you were the only woman at your company.
Well, I don't feel 'like the only' at my job, even tho I am the only woman.
That bullshit is so weak. What you want is to not to have to do anything. Not to have to think that maybe your life experience and that of someone else may be different and that what they go thru, what they have lived is different than what you have. It is being lazy in the mind.
And no one is saying that choosing a more "diverse" environment will guarantee a perfect school environment.
NO SHIT SHERLOCK!!
