<p>I want to hear others' reflections on their own race's cliques, so I don't want to hear whites dumping on Asians, blacks disparaging whites, etc. Stick to self-reflection.</p>
<p>My school has exactly one non-white. He is completely intergrated.</p>
<p>Well I'm black, but we're everywhere. We're a small group (maybe 2-5% of the population?) so we share similarities, but we hang out in really diverse groups and aren't overly cliquey</p>
<p>My school is more than 90% black. Basically half of the white people are Jews. All other groups are practically non-existant. Half of the white kids formulate "white cliques", and the other half mixes in. Though I'm not a member of "the white clique", I do have to admit that I have a disproportionate number of white friends when you take into account the school's racial demographics. Probably because one of the first clubs I joined has lots of white people, haha.</p>
<p>Well, since I go to a small school, if you're a minority and only hang out with your own race, you're not going to have many friends. Most of my friends are white (I'm Filipino) because most of the students (like 70-80%) are white. However, I have noticed that the black students tend to sit with each other at lunch, but outside of that one instance, they'll hang out with everyone.</p>
<p>The Koreans stick together because they all go through ESL together and live in the dorms. But they hang out with everyone too.</p>
<p>in a heavily white school, a few black kids who stick togheter in cliques. its kinda anoying but i understand it.</p>
<p>my highschool has a 70+% Asian population. And basically everyone else is white. The Asians hang out with other Asians. And the Whites hang out with otherWhites. But there are some cliques with both Asians and white, like my group =). But generally the Asians and the whites get along with each other fairly well.</p>
<p>there's only 1 black girl at my school. she's one of my closest friends, no one really cares that she's not white. we have a few asian girls, same thing.</p>
<p>I go to a school that is 60% Asian 30% Polynesian and 10% White. There is only one Black guy, but there are no other races. ALL the cliques are separated by the ethnicities. There are the "Flips" (the filipino people), the "Smart Japanese Girls", the Hawaiians, etc. I really really really hate how cliquish my school is, and therefore I MUST go to a college without any cliques because I hate it. I am white though, so I know how it feels to be the minority....so I kind of want to go to a predominately white college, but it must be ethnically diverse....i just don't want to be the minority anymore.</p>
<p>Daaaaaaaaaamn yall.</p>
<p>My school is like 40% white, 40% asian, 15% black or hispanic, 5% other. We definitely have a black clique, although about half of them hang out with other people as well. The asians almost always stick together with a few in the white cliques. Basically there's the cool asians (almost all girls) and the video game geek asians (almost all guys). We don't really have a hispanic clique, so they're pretty much dispersed throughout the other cliques. We have an Indian clique as well, but only about half the Indians are in it. Finally, we have like 2039842 white cliques because those people just can't get their acts together.</p>
<p>...Just kidding! Please don't kill me.</p>

<p>haha, that sound EXACTLY like Mean Girls</p>
<p>We have like umm about 10-15 african american students in my school of 2500..
30% are asians. And about half of the asian population are in their asiany cliques. But it's like, Chinese clique, Korean clique, etc.. Like, they vary by where they're from.
There's also an Arab clique.</p>
<p>My school's a diverse school and everyone is just friendly with one another.
But sometimes, there are tensions between the arab group and this white group.. like, they threaten one another with fights on friday nights or wahtever. it's so stupid.</p>
<p>I'm white, but I often don't fit in with the majority of white people due to being agnostic (very,very hard agnostic) and taking academics seriously (backfires because they think I'm overachiever, but I really just want to get out of high school and never go back). There's not enough minorities to have a very visible clique. Though I must say from my education experience, Whites and Blacks seem most prone to form their own cliques.</p>
<p>in my school, there are the asians ( a lot of them) who are mostly all together. except for a few. there are only like 15 black people in my school, they all hang out together (but also with other people,so its not such a tight group). there are lots of small (3-5 people) cliques of white kids... and the "abercrombie/hollister" clique (you know what i mean), has about 12 people (i cant stand them, they think they r better than everyone else), and then there are the Leftovers (lol) like me, who are friends with random people in school. though i am sort of in a clique- The trackies (woohoo), but it isnt racial so i guess it doesnt count</p>
<p>Glad to see a lot of posts here.</p>
<p>At my school, it's half white and half Asian. Most of the Asians are Chinese, but there's a Filipino minority that really sticks together. Generally, the Chinese and Filipinos will not mix, although there's no animosity or anything. White kids also generally stick together, unless they're part of a sports team, or have reasonably good academics. </p>
<p>The worst cliquey people are those who are involved in no sports and have **** poor grades. All they do is get drunk on weekends or go to the mall with their mono-racial groups. Sports teams and academics are race-blind and can easily bring in all sorts of different people.</p>
<p>yea i got a couple hispanic cliques...im hispanic too but i dont belong to them.... i think over the years ive gotten too white(weird thing to think about)</p>
<p>my old school used to have these problems, mostly the korean girls, chinese guys and ESL girls. however after I started IB, these things have died away a bit. although I cant deny the presence of racial groups in IB, its much less noticible than in my old school, and the groups arn't as closed off.</p>
<p>my school is, in percent: 36 W 7 B 10 H 49 A</p>
<p>There are a whole bunch of cliques. There are the popular korean people, the popular chinese people, the popular white people (preppy-ish), the other white people (artsy), there is a clique of blacks/hispanics and there is a big group of indian/arab/etc. people. The people from the groups do not solely hang out with each other, the "exclusiveness" is subtle, but it is there. There are also a bunch small groups of mixed races. But there is no hatred or anything of that sort so it's all good :)</p>
<p>I'm in San Antonio, so we're over 50% hispanic. Some blacks, some Asians (most of them live in the ROTC wing, oddly enough, so I don't see them often). What I've noticed is that cliques are very pronounced in the "regular" classes, but as you move up to AP and GT the classes become more racially integrated. Which means, in short, that smart people are less racist than stupid people - but I don't think I needed to tell you that.</p>
<p>Yeah, there are cliques in our school. Most notably are the Koreons who think they're from the ghetto and constantly jabber at each other in their own language. How do I feel about them? Apathetical. Their refusal to speak English - ever - annoys me, but I can totally understand why they group together. They share a lot of common experiences such as language barrier with their peers and a cultural </p>
<p>Yeah, there are tables at lunch that are mostly black - but there are white kids at those tables, too. There are black kids at tables that are predominantly white, as well.</p>
<p>Hell, even I have a few more Italian friends than is proportional to the number in our school. I just feel an instant connection. We talk about our sweet, loud grandmothers, our familie's obsession with food, the number of "Tony"s that are our immediate relatives, and family in Italy.</p>
<p>At the same time, I don't feel like there's racism in our school or that a person who is in a "black" clique feels like he can't hang out with white kids. Here, there are cliques, yes, but they tend to mingle frequently, and a lot of cliques transcend ethnicity. At my school I feel like diversity and acceptance of all kinds of beliefs are presumed necessary, but that we also recognize that ties to our heritage and 'people' are important, too, and sometimes merely circumstantial!</p>
