[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dude white people come to DC not thinking as a majority or plurality of Americans how they can not be most of whoever is around. Then they live in Upper Upper which is still mostly white. I’m white and yeah it takes a minute to get used to being a minority - but it’s FINE. Your kid being in a school that’s mostly black or now mixed black and Hispanic is FINE. Sure. Cultural commonalities to be honest May not be as strong as some other situations but - don’t you LIKE doing new and interesting things and meeting new people? Isn’t a more unified American society something good we can pass onto our kids? It’s weird to say something like this but maybe it’s necessary: do not be afraid of black people. Just - don’t let your willingness to mix along that axis be part of your life. Move on. Your kids are going to be FINE.  [/quote]

It is because at some level, the white people posting still do not see minorities as people and peers. They don’t realize that if their kids go to school with all white kids they will be picked on for being fat, or ugly, or stupid, or smart, or whatever characteristic that sets them apart from others. But the fear of being called a cracker is a worse fear...uh ok?![/quote]
