[QUOTE="keista, post: 535851, member: 11965"] in my opinion it's not racist. There are huge cultural differences that must be considered as well. When we first moved to FL, my son got zoned into a school where he was the minority (one of 3 kids like him in the whole school). He did not do well at all. This was kindergarten, and everyone was nice enough, but in my opinion the school was the embodiment of chaos. I was told that he was doing well socially, but not so much academically???????????? I was certain they had him mixed up with another student, because up until then, he was the exact opposite. The final straw was when he was left sitting outside the school by himself for an hour (he was 5) without being noticed by staff, and if he was noticed, no one did anything about it. (chaos). Anyway, fitting in, while one is a minority, is a huge obstacle and shouldn't be taken lightly or superficially. [/QUOTE]
