It's a bigger school, so a much bigger sea of fishes, if you know what I mean.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653383372182667361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-721486719489709402.post-47939003907292195492012-01-31T22:08:27.734-06:002012-01-31T22:08:27.734-06:00I worried about this a lot, and so far, it hasn...I worried about this a lot, and so far, it hasn't been. Yes, perhaps Maya has been mostly friends with multi-racial groups (in preschool she had one friend who wasn't multi-racial, and she was black), but having so many multi-racial kids in her cohort has meant a lot for her acceptance of herself. I worried about middle school and HS, but so far, she's in groups of truly accepting kids. I hear the term, 'post racial', and I think people mean that we are color blind. I don't think we'll ever get there, and I don't think we should. I prefer to hope that we'll get to a point where we ask each other about our cultures and celebrate them. Her group does this. I hope this bodes well for the future, and for your boys. Racism is really just about the ugliest thing on Earth.
