Not at all. And I suspect you know that.

Btw, that has not been my experience at all. I have attended schools with a sprinkling of white kids (and the rest Black/Hispanic) and for the most part the white kids were not treated badly. I'm not saying their were no racial name calling - generally, as a non-racial incident escalated; but I cannot recall an incident where a white kid was targetted because of their being white, rather the problems came from their being jerks and/or perceived as being weak, in which case they would be targetted regardless of their race.

I also have been the only Black kid in a school, when my race was an issue (with some) everyday.
