You need to ask the ones that do live here how they feel they are treated, and what problems they may have encountered. I have not witnessed my students treating each other differently because of race. I have seen them treat each other poorly simply because other differences exist. Differences in financial standing, academic, athletic, and artistic achievement, extracurricular interests, etc. appear to cause more conflict than racial issues. As a teacher, my greatest concern is that hatred of any kind is a learned reaction.
All people find themselves in the minority at some point.
Warm thanks to ALL OF YOU who donated to the Coats for Kids program, ensuring that kids in need get a winter jacket. Last week's call for spooky tales of Warren County elicited this anonymous entry. The story was that nobody ever stayed there long because the place was haunted. Being country folk, they scoffed at the idea, chalking it up to city folks being spooked by night sounds. It wasn't long until the spook made himself known.
