[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 66693, member: 805"] Ok, here's my take on it as the parent of two biracial children. As it specifically relates to your daughter I think you will find that the kids in her small school see her as Nicole, not as black Nicole or biracial Nicole. She has been part of the group for so long that she is just Nicole. As far as the future and dating, I think you will find this younger generation much less concerned about race than our generation or even the kids in their 20s now. Having said that, there are always groups within every ethnic group that won't date outside their race. My easy child has friends of most races but the majority of her friends are white. She has had three "serious" boyfriends and they have all been white. I'm not to sure you should make a school decision based on future dating potential unless you truly believe this will affect her in a dramatic social way. Sharon [/QUOTE]
