I'm I wrong to think that my daughter will feel out of place in this apt.? She grew up in a very rural area. The school is using her as a filler and I have my doubts about how she will handle this. I tried to talk to the housing dept. and they pretty much think I'm a racist. So, racist or realist?

What a great opportunity for your daughter to grow and learn to accept people for who they are and not what color they are. I can understand your concerns but I think why not encourage your child to try this instead of creating barriers and a possible reputation as a racist.

If she didn't grow up around a lot of Black people then yeah she would feel out of place. I'm Black and I would feel out of place living with 5 white people and I grew up with my parents having White friends. I'm used to White people but even now when I get jobs and I work around mostly Whites, I still feel out of place. We can't always relate to each other the same way. But it might be a good experience for her that she can share with her kids and others later on in life. I would be uncomfortable living with 5 black girls though just because too many women always causes a problem, too much drama!

realist. i'm black and i attended an all white school and a racially diverse school. some of my best friends come from the all white school and although they treat me as equally as anyone else they still see a difference in us. i'm not saying that's a bad thing but what else can you expect from a lifetime of not knowing anything else but their own culture. it'll take some time for your daughter (and the other 5 girls) to adjust but if they are all willing and open they will all learn valuable lessons in the long run.

Well first ask how your daughter feels about it then let her live there for a few week or months and if somthing wrong happens then you are begin realist.

ask your daughter how she feels about it but now a days most people dont even think of that as a big issue i have alot of white friends and i dont feel displaced so if your daughter is down to earth she wont have a problem either

It sounds like you are a racist to me if you have raised your daughter to think no one race is superior she will be just fine it wont hurt her to be a little uncomfortable until they all get to know each other
