I learned what it felt like to be the ‘only’ other race in a class room. It is as bad to be the only white as it is any other ‘only’.

I only find it bad if people are treated differently. Like teaching classes in Spanish or students refusing to speak English, even when English-only students or teachers are around. IMO, they're the ones that have always created the divide when I went to school. And probably still. It's that entitlement attitude that our school teach 'em, and the libs in charge of many states encourage it even after school. I know there's some smart states out there, though and I'm looking at power plant jobs in those areas, trying to entice hubby to escape ASAP!

Or, in my experience, it was “pick on the weak one”, I had no other whites to support me, so I was evil one out.

In Jr. High School, we had one African girl at the school, she was always alone, and I would look at her across the area and remember what that ‘alone’ feeling felt like.

If possible, I always asked her to join us, but then I was not a top dog there either, so was limited in being any better off than she was.

LOL, as I recall her, she was quiet and very ladylike.
