[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This isnt a race thing…

Like bc all things in life, people group off in “likes “ (likes congregate together). My private high school kid, knows he’s had a privileged education. And we are high net worth; close to 9 figures, we fly privately etc , he’s had some unusual experiences as an 18yo.

As an incoming freshman at an Ivy, I’m sure he’ll socialize with a wide mix of people….and will be most comfortable with whoever he can share all parts of his background, without discomfort.

Note, he’s not white.

He will find that yes, race will be a factor, even with all of your money. The rich white kids will not necessarily see him as a peer that your son can say in his head to "let me be gracious and expand my social circle beyond you fellow richies!" That is not going to happen. [/quote]

He’s biracial (half white & half Asian). He’s been hanging with this prep school crowd in Nantucket, Aspen and Palm Beach for the past decade - sometimes hosting them all! He’ll be ok. Whatever happens.

As someone not born into this world, what is crazy is how these kids network /know who “knows you”, so insanely quickly. Happened with summer programs and now with college (before it’s even started).

Anyway, just my 2 cents.[/quote]

Well if he survived a mom that speaks like this and constantly is bragging about the family HHI on nearly every thread she posts on, I’m sure he’ll be fine in college.  Unless he takes after mom.[/quote]
