[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I think that it is awesome that you are so invested in your child's school experience. The reason that I think this is that I was a white student in a majority African American school when I was younger and my parents were nowhere near as interested in my school experience than you are. While the experience was very eye opening and has helped me become who I am today, it would have been easier if my parents understood that there are struggles when one is a minority anywhere, especially when you are one of few white kids in your class.[/quote] Being a minority in a high ses white school is much different. Those children are taught to be inclusive and cordial to all regardless of color. When you are the minority in a lower ses minority majority those kids tend to exclude others and are not behaved. Furthermore society especially their society promotes the idea that reverse racism doesn't exist and is acceptable[/quote]
