I have never been in the private education system. I went to a NYC public schools, for elementary, junior high, and high school tracts. I went to a CUNY university to get my BS.
In each place I learned in, I was one of the small minority of white kids there, and (through high school) we got picked on by other students quite a bit for this fact, but we also had alot of black friends, who stuck with us through the worst.
I have come to the conclusion that there are really only two "races" of humans in the world - people and rodents. Typical rodent behavior would be to crush those who are weaker than them, and grovel to those who are stronger, or get the upper hand by subterfuge. Real people try to help those weaker than themselves, for the good of society as a whole.
This has nothing to do with skin color, but with the way they see the world around them. I have met both groups represented by people of all races. All races in the world have plently of people and plently of rodents. I'd say the split is close to 50%.
Half the population, if they have the upper hand over another group, will fight to maintain it by putting down those who don't. But there are also alot of people of different races are who have transcended such behavior and truly work towards unity.
I find it odd that when affluent white parents choose to send their kids to private schools, those who cannot afford to do so feel somehow wronged. If I went out and bought a $50,000 car and parked it in a $10,000 car neighborhood, would I be committing an act of injustice, by making people jealous? No, I'd just get keyed.
The normal human behavior in this case would be to strive towards the same goal instead of waving the race card and trying to get in just because of skin color alone.
On the other side of the coin, private school officials should judge students' academic excellence, and not the overall skin color of their institution, as I am sure many private schools do today.
So in conclusion, I feel there are very few true racial conflicts these days - mostly just groups of "people" who feel they are somehow better than their neighbor of another color, and stiving to put them down, whether through beaureaucracy, politics, or just brute force.
It is our responsibility as people to work together in fighting rodent influence, in all spectrums of skin color.
