I attended an almost exclusively Caucasian high school, with the predominant minority being Asians. There were some blacks and Hispanics at my school who were the "stereotypical" minorities (interpret as you will), and others that, well, weren't, including myself. After sophomore year, a large group of these minorities, including a good friend of mine, left the school and opted for the nearby city schools with higher minority representation. While talking to my friend, I found that they reason was this: There had been some problems with other students making remarks to those minorities, a group of them decided to go to the office to report the incidents, and the secretary asked, "Do you all go here?" That made many of them mad, and they decided to leave the school. However, several other minority students and I never had one problem at the school. Why was that? Did it have something to do with level of involvement, academic performance, or social groups within the school?

its a question of response...take three people and line them up. then slap each one in the face. Each of the three will respond different to the slap. One will cry, one will slap you back, one will walk away wondering why

To answer your final question, I would say that at any decent school the way you are treated depends almost entirely on your level of involvement, academic performance, and social groups within the school. Alot also has to do with the student's behavior and level of respect to others in the school.

I think you are trying to be too politically correct and it is making your question a little general. Or maybe it is just me. Were the comments made to the minorities that were not stereotypical or to the ones that were. That changes the whole dynamic of the question

Maybe it was because they acted as you put it stereotypical, that they got treated that way. I am white and I was the minority in school, and I got good grades and did not act ghetto (sorry about the term but you would understand if you went to my school) so I always got the racist comments thrown my way. I think its' just because people really don't like people who are diffrent than them.

Pennies are copper plated zinc.
Cupric ions (Cu+2) forms blue aqueous solutions (like CuSO4).
Curiously enough, 2003 Canadian pennies are made of steel coated with copper. So the Canadian penny has joined many of its brethren in being magnetic.

I am sure it had nothing to do with color rather thier behavior.
