I’m White. Being a new kid in my town, I got tons more cr@p from other White kids in high school than from my Black, Asian, or Latino classmates. Before college, “decency” was not my experience with many of my white classmates.
I will also add that Black students are sometimes not to succeed in high school by not being given the more advanced classes, despite their intelligence. Dated someone in HS who was quite smart, but (non-American) Black. (Got no end of cr@p for this, but that’s another story.)
She wasn’t given many of the honors classes despite being pretty damn smart. She did much better after her family moved into the city and she went to a Catholic school. Ended up going to a good university, then med school, and she’s doing quite well now. Had she stayed at a suburban public school, the outcome might have been different.
