[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While statistically, Janney might be very white, and as others have said, it really is much more diverse and multi-colored when you take into account the number of students coming from foreign parents, or adopted, or from gay parents, etc., and while we haven't been at the school long, it seems to be very welcoming to all from what I can tell, but then almost all of the parents/families are coming from a similar social-economic background for the most part. to me the lack of diversity at this type of school is really ses based vs, race/ethnicity.

Sorry, the definition of diversity in DC is pretty simple.  AA or not.[/quote]

from merriam-webster:

: the quality or state of having many different forms, types, ideas, etc.

: the state of having people who are different races or who have different cultures in a group or organization

Where in the f#^K does AA become the defining factor whether it's dc or not?  my basic point is that there is a certainly a decent mix of people from different cultures/backgrounds regardless of any gross generalization of their skin color...  using your simpleton logic, since AA is the majority of people in dc, a school that is not AA majority would actually be the one that is more diverse in this city... is this the argument you're trying to make?

And what does this have to do with how an AA boy would get treated at this school, I'm just trying to provide context to the OP about the type of environment that exists...  Even if a school were 50% white, 50% AA, that would not count as diverse in my book if there were no other cultures/races present...[/quote]
