How would you feel if you see one black girl in your class but everyone else is white (including the teacher).......
I mean i have no problem being in the class, im the only black girl in there its ok but you know i do like to have those people i can relate to at times (ethnic) wise. Everyone seems pretty friendly though, this has never happened to me before, its kind of awkward but i'm not racist so i don't mind.

I would feel sorry for you at first, thinking you may be uncomfortable. Of course I would notice that you were the only black person in the class. My instincts would be to try and make fast friends with you, so you didn't feel sad, or alone, or scared. I guess, according to what you have said, though, that you are not uncomfortable, that I would find that out later from you. Color should have no distinction, only a person's mind. Good luck at doing well in your class, and don't sweat the small stuff.

I have black friends. Race is not an issue and it seems that it's not an issue for your classmates either.
I used to be very racist. I used to use the "N" word but I even get offended if black people use it.
Here's the important thing--can we relate to Jesus? With Him, we would have many things in common and this wouldn't even be a question.
Heck, I do believe Moses was married to a black woman. So, either way, it's no big deal.

Well, I was the first person to become friends with the first black person in our entire school, (in the late 70's early 80's), so does that tell you how I was raised? I have always been color blind. Just the way I was raised. Our old neighbors (when I was like 2) were extremely dark and I was talking to the dad and I told him he had a really nice tan. Anyhow, to answer your question, I am the one who says hi to everyone.

Growing up in New Orleans I've attended public schools where I was the only white person. Even the teacher was a black person. You know what I still learned. And I even had friends. Some of them are still my friends today after years out of school. I don't think anything about it. Instead of saying, "woe is me, I'm the only different person in the class" and wishing that there was others like you, celebrat your difference. Show your class mates that you are happy to be in their class and let them know you. You could teach them somethings they didn't know and you could learn things about them that you didn't know. Anyway I wouldn't worry about it too much--I didn't.

Interesting, my senior year in High School was the first year that my High School in Kentucky had a black student, 1976.
She was quite an item and very popular and everything was just fine. There wasn't a single incident of anyone harrassing her.
She went on to a university and that's the last I heard of her. I hope she is doing well.
She was a sophmore when she came to our school and managed to assimilate just fine. Her family and friends outside of school were there for her ethnic wise.

It's silly for you to feel awkward. People are people and you all have the same goal in your class: to learn.
And *technically*, it's racist of you to assume that just because they're white you can't relate to them.
Just get to know them and let them get to know you. Once you get to know them, then you can decide whether or not you can relate to them.
That's what I've done in my life, and it's always worked and I've developed really close friendships with people of other ethnicities because in the end skin color doesn't matter.

I wouldn't care. I love everyone, including black people. As a matter of fact, most of my friends are of a different race than I.
Personally, I don't pay attention to a person's skin color.

The color of your skin would never be at issue with me, in any way, shape, or form. Those that feel otherwise (including blacks) are not worth your time or trouble. I'll never understand why race has to be an issue.

It's the same if I was the only white person in an all black class. I'd feel awkward. But in reality, race doesn't matter.
I used to hang out with my hmong friends and their clique during highschool. At lunch, me, the only white person, with a table full of hmongs. They'd pass me some of their food and it was so spicy! :P
So, yeah, I can relate.

well I have been to reunions with my husband where I have been the only white person there so rather see your point.........and in fact said to my husband, I can kinda see what it might feel like for you when you are the only black person around all my side of the family.
I suppose you could use this as a time to wave the flag on a positive note and carry your self like the young lady that you are and show that regardless of race colour and creed you are a good person.................
good luck with the class and regards
