And my mom's day job involved a LOT of flattering the egos of rich old whites on local cable in a super republican town (or a town run by super white republicans anyway).
Being back home I'm just remembering how hybridized my entire life was until age 15 or 16 when I started spending more time around my white peer group. And frankly how uncomfortable it was to have to assimilate into a group of very well-intentioned, very racist white folks.
And I want to say "at least it gave me so many opportunities!" But tbh, I could have gone to a really good public school magnet program in the arts OR for academics and gotten the same opportunities.
(And I would have gotten into both/either bc I was a really smart kid, lol. *tosses hair*.) I don't regret it bc I can't imagine being a different person... but if I have kids I will think VERY seriously about the advantages vs disadvantages of PWI education esp at a young age.
