<p>My twins were hoping to go to a college where they would be around a multi-cultural group although they know they can never duplicate their neighborhood/school. We lucked out being on a street with old/young, Asian, Black, White, Jewish (Hasidic and Reform)Indian and 1 gay couple. Growing up like this, little had to be said, they just “lived it” and with no one telling them racist things, they were hurt to listen to others do it later in life. It shows that “bubbles” aren’t always harmful, but they do harbor views from that bubble sometimes. My daughters just met a young woman from a neighboring town that said she never really talked to one minority her whole life, her school/camps etc. were all white.
Maybe she will have a more well-rounded experience in college.</p>
