[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's more of a class thing than race thing. Lower class people shun upper class people when they assume they won't be accepted into the upper clas society. [/quote] I agree with this. It is very similar to what goes on in Hispanic groups (if you are into intellectual things you are often teased and even bullied). [/quote] Do you know how you all sound? Making the underlying assumption that the African child is higher class and intellectual…and the black American students are all poor and anti intellectual and bullying her because of that. It’s a lot of bias tied up in these statements [/quote] AA and Hispanic kids do tend to tease kids for “being too white” (aka intellectual, nerdy, bookish, quiet - you choose). [/quote]
