I don't know what to say. I went to public school in Hawaii, with children of many different races, economic backgrounds, and skill levels. I had good teachers and bad teachers. I never felt angry or hostile because my peers of other races and classes held me back. None of my friends (white, Asian or Hawaiian) did either.
My son is one of the few non-whites (his father is chinese) in his school. It's a fine environment, but I am sorry he has not had a chance to experience the diversity that I experienced. I was shaped in a really good way by diversity. I won't try to say it always works out right. But you should not think that it always works out wrong.
