Oh heck yes! I do think minorities can be racist/prejustice. I know several black kids who think they own the schools and hate all white kids. Those kids, of course, are few and far between. Anthony has a prob with a kid like that in his class - his mom teaches across the hall. She's (I'm sure) aware of what's going on but she's got a new baby and I know her home situation sucks b/c she came up to me drunk and crying at a bar once. Let's say the kid's daddy is an asswhipe. A BIG asswhipe. While that doesn't excuse her kid from being one, she can't focus her attention on waht she needs to focus on (DaRius). She's a good teacher and very nice though. I don't think she's prejustice but her boy's daddy is. The boy learns from him and the thugs he hangs around. HOWEVER the kids in the neighborhood (and other classmates) are perfectly OK. It made me sad, though, when a neighbor kid (Manté, 6) said "When Anthony goes to Liberty (Elementary) I'll protect him. He shouldn't think that way. Sweet kid but SERIOUSLY.
