<p>^ Not just the parents surprisingly. My D has been looking at a room mate matching thing on the college she will attend this fall. She and another girl are getting to know each other, attracted by their similarities in interests and possible compatability. My D is white, her new friend is black. Two of my D’s school friends who happen to be Asian and who are also in this process actually pointed out the girl’s race as though it ought to be a consideration and proposed another choice. My D was pretty taken aback.</p>
