I agree, but I also feel you shouldn't grow up in a neighborhood like I did: no other races.
I hated it and as a 4 or 5 year old, I went out to Long Island, where it was predominately white, and the Caucasian children stared at me and I stared at them and I was fascinated, and a bit mad that I didn't have these different people to play with and ask questions of.
It was a big reason I chose the HS I did and the college I did in the town that I did!
