Less than a year ago, I brought my middle school aged child to an open house at a nearby private Catholic school. My goal wasn't to force him to go to the school, but rather to expose him to choices he has in pursuit of his own education. I reached out to the school well before the open house asking that they make sure there was some diversity present in either the presenters or the interested students. There was none. My request was not borne out of some misguided pc kumbaya notion.  My brown skinned Asian son's spontaneous reaction: I'm not going here, Dad. There're only white people, nobody looks like me...just like the student in the article said. With that, we left and have never gone back. To be very clear, many white people do possess an appreciation of what it must be like to look different from everyone else - I'd like to think I'm one of them.
