In defense of minorities, particularly race minorities, one thing they never mention but is a real problem

...Is how kids in mainly white schools can be quite cruel to them.
I don't know if it's the same now... But when I was a kid, every kid told racist jokes and people found them funny, even the popular smart crowd. The corner shop was referred to as "the Packie shop"
and the real bullies, would ridicule and physically hurt us (I'm half South African).

So I dunno, I want them to unpack so they don't carry that hurt and not have it turn into something horrible....

I had those experiences from integrating a Catholic school in 1966. One doesn’t forget, but people deal with it differently.

I was in high school a very long time ago, and we had maybe ONE black kid, or perhaps two at the most, in attendance. They were very popular!

@4meAndyou I think kids are taught stronger morals in The States than in The UK. It may be cause I lived in a semi-rough area.

@Hireath AND the schools in England have a very horrible history of bullying. It's almost a tradition.
