Very competitive public school in NJ, ~1400 students:

53% White
37% Asian
5.5% African American
4.5% Hispanic

I hate being an Asian minority!

Oh god, my school lacks diversity. The biggest set of minorities are the Jews, and there's only about 30ish of us in the school.

If my senior class is an indicator, we're about 115ish people: 2 hispanics, 1 Israeli, 1 black guy, a Korean, a Vietnamese kid, a half Japanese girl, 1 Baha'i kid (I know, random isn't it?), and 7 Jews.

We're pretty diverse.

We have a dichotomy, though.

In IB, we're mostly white, a good deal of asian, a few blacks and very few hispanics.

The non-IB kids are mostly black but a large amount of whites, very few hispanics, and few if any asians.

My school is not diverse at all. We're all Christian (it's a Catholic school but we have a couple non-Catholic Christians).
We have one black person, two hispanic people, and five asians. The black person is graduating this yearalong with one of the hispanic people and four of the asians. Next year the school will be 99.2% white if they don't like recruit some minorities (which I doubt they will seeing as bringing up the words 'affirmative action' at my school makes people foam at the mouth)

My school has more black students than white but it's not like black students take over. Maybe we have 5% more black students...

I am black but at the same time, I'm a minority.
I'm a smart black student, a black student in I.B, a black I.B. student that's doing WELL in I.B., an atheist, and a lesbian.
I'd say I'm pretty much a minority in my school.

The school I'm supposed to go to is 98% black, and 2% other (I'm not going to get into the decimals, lol) Our county is about 70% black (i think). The reason for this is that most of the non-blacks are smart/not caught up with trying to be gangster (this is one of the most affluent african-american counties in the US, yet people are more obsessed with hiding wealth and intellegence than using them).

So the school I currently go to (still public, still in this same county) is 57% black, 30% white, and 13% other (mostly asians, with some hispanics). And a good amount of those blacks only can go to our school because they live in the area. So if you eliminated all of those not in special programs, there would be more whites and asians than blacks. Isn't that terrible?
