What's yours like?

I'm done high school; but my school was very multicultural, since it's in Canada. With about 1100 students, theres an estimate of about:
30% Serbians alone
10% other Europeans such as Albanians & Bosnians etc.
10% Indians Alone
20% Middle Easterns (mainly from Pakistani, Afganistan, Iraq, etc.)
15% Whites
12% Asians (mainly Cambodians, Vietnamese & Laos)
3% others (such as blacks etc.)
* I'm able to tell which background they're from since i live in a multicultural area in my city. (the other side of my city is not this diverse)

My school has 2000 students and 20 of them are asian, and 20 are Arabic. Everyone else is white.
This is probably because this is a school only for the higher educated (I live in The Netherlands)

No, She's right..
I mean.. a lot of arabics here are not so smart, they do drugs and school doesn't mean that much for them.. they are spoiled with what we have here..
And there are some of them, who are smart, who doesn't throw away there lives..
She is not saying that ALL of the not-white people are stupid.. And a lot of white people do stupid things too..
But the main-race in this country is White/Dutch..

Let's have an intelligent conversation here: I'll talk, and you listen

i go to school in upstate NY and in my school there are 20 blacks, about 50 asin, 30 Indian, about 10 foreign and the rest of the 1600 are white

reply

My high school was something like...

Mostly Black, then Latino, then Asian (mostly Cambodian and Vietnamese), then very few whites.

Just out of my circle of friends, mostly blacks and Asians hung out together (which is why it surprises me when people talk about blacks and Asians not getting along)... Latinos tended to keep to themselves with the exception of a few... whites were so few and far between that they hung with whoever. Everyone seemed to get along well. Never really issues on race. Mostly just individual based problems, and never because of race.

I just like to shake things up a bit...

Filipino 43.1%
Hispanic-Latino 26.4%
Black 18.5%
Asian 7%
White 5%

Our school has around 3,000 students, in urban part of Southern California.

You put Filipinos and Asians in a seperate catagory?

reply

At my school, it is 88 percent Mexican-American. We have 4 blacks, and everyone else is white.

I'm Mexican-American, by the way.

I went to school in Tennessee so we were taught to give everything 110%.

The school I went to was mostly black and white kids a few Asian's and Hispanic's here and there but not much.

reply

In my grade school there was one black boy and the rest were white. My high school is half black, half white, and a little bit of everything else thrown in.

Did you rub my lamp? Did you wake me up? Did you bring me here?

reply

woah how can you guys keep an exact count of how many people of each race are at your school?

I go to a high school in a suburb of Kansas City, and I think there is around 2000 kids at my school. And it's like the freaking UN! We are the most diverse school in our city, and you can tell.

now I don't have any clue on specifics, but there's a great mix. We have quite a few immagrants from Africa (I think a lot are from sudan ethiopia and kenya), many asians, and many indians. those are probably our lowest percents of what we have, then it probably goes blacks, then hispanic, then whites are the most. there are many other races also, but those are the main ones. We also have many foreign exchange students though.


did that answer?.....

My school is in the san francisco bay area
and i got the demographics of my school and everything on great schools.net

Asian:35% (Mostly Vietnamese,Cambodian,Chinese etc...)
Latino: 35% (Mostly Mexican, some puerto rican,etcc..)
Filipino: 19%
White: 6%
African American: 4%

we have 3,800 kids.

its pretty much like the demographics of freedom writers..but we actually get along, its just that there are gangs in our school too but it has gotten better and no one fights due to race..just depends if you in a gang or not.
