[quote=Anonymous]I think it is important for kids to see kids like them and get that mirroring at school and in their community. It is really hard to be the only person or one of only a few people who look like you do. My kids are asian american (1/4) and we intentionally moved to a diverse area where there are many people who are a mix of things. As pp said, living on a base overseas, your normal is very different. Dh and I both grew up on bases overseas but we had to look for an environment like that in the US. My kids are happy. Their schools are diverse and their friends represent that. I have a friend whose ds is one of the few black children at his school. It is hard and I am not sure what I would do in that situation. She is trying to find the right area to move to to make it a better environment for her ds. [/quote]
