[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would worry about bullying.  Your child will be the only white kid. Will they be comfortable?  Will YOU be comfortable with your kid dating black teens.[/quote]Oh my god, you just assume that black kids attending a magnet school will bully a white kid?[/quote]

No the assumption that any kid who is an "only" has a higher likelihood of being bullied. Blac, white, latino, disabled whatever.  Did you all not go to high school. I also think black kids at predominately WoTP schools are getting bulled. [/quote]

Here my $0.02 as the parent of a white child in a predominantly black school (my kid is one of 3 white kids in the entire 3-5 grades). I think white parents worry about their child getting bullied because a minority child in a predominantly white school isn’t treated very nice by the white students. They assume roles would just be reversed, which isn’t the case.[/quote]

Most AA children aren't taught to treat people differently because of their skin color. [/quote]
