My kids are Caucasian, Asian, Native American Indian, Hispanic, Arabian/Persian (East Indian, Israeli, etc.) but although their physical features represent each and every one of their nationalities, they have pale skin w/ slight tan on their arms and face. They have brown freckles, on their face and arms. They all have darker colored hair. We live in Indian, but I grew up in Chicago and I never had any problems with racism. As for Boston, I don t know. My sister says her daughter attends a hispanic/ African American school and is constantly called a white girl. She s a blonde girl. I don t want my kids to go through that. Don t get me wrong, my kids are tough. I didn t raise a bunch of wimps. They are very diverse in their choice of culture. For example, my daughter can dance traditional Indian dances, Ballet, Hip-Hop and Break. (I taught her all) She also listens to classical, cultural, rap/Hip-hop and Rock music. She likes shopping and plays a great center front in soccer.My point is, I don t want my kids to go to school, be themselves and get shut down for it. Or get into fights, my other daughter takes after my mouth, quick come-backs. So what about you guys, If you saw a seemingly, white girl waltz into your school and go out for the schools dance team, and start dancing like was andy from step up 2, what would you say? Would people take it negatively in Boston (the teens at least)?Oh, and I am NOT racist!!! Just here in India, everyone knows my grandmothers family so people don t dis my kids! lol, thank you for your opinions!
You and your kids will be just fine in Boston. Lots of mixed race people in the area. Rap and rock are popular in Boston.
Do your homework, what part of town do you want to live in? Its the people not the city, be aware, Boston is very fast paced, and their lack of patients are sometimes mistaken for rudeness. We just want you to get to the point.The many different cultures, history, and people of Boston will be a very rewarding expereince for your children.
If they treat others the way they themselves wish to be treated then by and large they should be fine. Will they from time to time run into a mean, ignorant kid? Sure, but everyplace has a few mean and ignorant kids, usually raised by mean and ignorant parents.
Its a city, which means its full of diversity, which means tons of different cultures and races live there, which means no they prob wouldn t.
nah man they b aight. boston s just like evrywhere else ya know..if u respect u ll b respected. what part of boston just outta curiosity?
