What's the main race in your school?


I go to a high school with about 1800 kids. There are about 30 Asians, 15 Blacks, 10 Samoans, 10 Latinos, and everyone else is white.

What's yours like?

and the rest is either black or hispanic. It's pretty even between them.

I'm at uni now which is pretty multicultural, but my high school was pretty average for Melbourne. It's a bit hard to know everyone's exact race but I have a problem just labeling people white or asian because in Australia its a bit different. In my experience labeling occurs more along the lines of if you are international or domestic student. We have huge amounts of students coming from Asian countries to do high school who then leave again. It really creates a sort of us and them situation sometimes because often the international students are very groupy and don't speak English comfortably. Most of the other racial boundaries are not as noticeable anymore ie. between Anglos and Italians etc. like they were in the fifties. Anyway, my school was probably 30% Chinese/Singaporean, 10% Jewish, 60% Anglo/Italian/Greek.

I live in Edinburgh, Scotland and go to a public school (one of the poorer ones at that) and the majority of the students are white. The next highest is blacks(mostly Fijians as the school is next to army living and a lot of them come over here with the army), I know one mixed race person, I can only remember seeing one Asian other than the girl I'm friends with, and no Latino's.
