<p>Statistically, my school is 50% white and 50% minority, which in turn is 50% indian, 10% black, 30% chinese, and 10% korean. However, in honors classes, it's more 90% chinese and indian and 10% white.</p>
<p>Basically, all the smart asians hang out with each other, and there are different cliques for whites. Blacks hang out together, and the Fobs hang out with each other.</p>
<p>At my school, cliques do exist, but we live in a predominately white area, so about 85% of the school (at least) is white. However, many groups of minorities tend to befriend each other...The African American girls tend to usually be friends with each other (in most situations), and the Hispanic students, particularly the males, seem to as well...In honors and AP classes, however, there are just a few minorities (at least in my grade, no African Americans are in honors or AP classes, I believe). There is one South-Korean girl who was adopted as a baby by a white family, one of my friends who is Chinese (his parents are from China), one girl from Costa Rica, one girl who is half Puerto Rican, a new girl in one of my AP classes whose family was from Cuba, an Indian girl, and a boy from Iraq. These students are the minorities in my grade who take at least one AP and/or honors class...It's not very common, though those who tend to take such classes usually befriend others on the same intellectual level, so there aren't really racial cliques among the smartest.</p>
<p>my school has black cliques, asian cliques, and some rich looking preppy white people cliques. Everyone who's not in that rich white people clique basically don't like or care about them. People don't think mucha bout the asian clique so no one cares. Everyone likes the black cliques unless you don't like ghetto style.</p>
<p>Haha gxing you must live pretty close to me! And mcz... uh I have no clue where you live haha.</p>
<p>For us, cliques also represent various academic abilities. I mean, I've been taking all the honors and AP courses available to me since freshman year began, and I tend to have the same people in many of my classes (aside from honors language arts and sometimes honors math, but now I'm in AP Language instead of honors, so things are different now :P). Therefore, if you have two friends you are equally close to, one of which takes many honors/AP courses like you and the other of which doesn't, you will end up being closer to the first person just because you'll talk about homework and have more classes together.</p>
<p>Ah, in all the three AP Language classes, there are 0 African Americans, 1 Hispanic, and less than 10 Caucasians. The rest are Asian. Oh, and there are less than 10 males.</p>
<p>HIGH SCHOOL (yorktown HS in arlington, virginia)</p>
<p>blacks with blacks
whites with whites and some athletic blacks and non-immigrant asians
hispanics with hispanics
asian immigrants with asian immigrants</p>
<p>college (UVA)</p>
<p>among whites, there are preppy whites cliques, jocky whites cliques and nerdy whites cliques, and artsy whites cliques
whites, hispanics and asians intergrate to a large extent, some indian cliques exist, some asian cliques exist
blacks' cliques are the tightest......... :(</p>
<p>My school is about 60% black, 30% white, and 10% asian. Haven't seen a Hispanic yet. Generally, everyone is friendly with each other, but people tend to stick to their own. It would be better if people would integrate more, but then again, like 95% of my friends are black.</p>
<p>We're about 93% white, 4% hispanic, 2% asian, 1% black. We are not at all a clique-ey school normally, but there are racial cliques. Not that people of different races are mean to each other, they just don't hang out outside of class. Personally, I think it sucks. A major part of that is that I'm not attracted to white guys :). In about every 'white' group there's one non-white. I geuss it's not an awful clique-eyness, but it's not my favorite thing about my school.</p>
<p>At my (majority white) school the administrators and other students are always fretting because all the 'minorities' sit at one table. One day I was talking to a girl who sits there and she said something very interesting to me it went something along the lines of "If you look arond this cafeteria you'll notice every other table is all white. I eat lunch with asians, dominicans, blacks and mexicans, and my table is the problem? We're the most diverse table in the whole room!" I thought that was funny. Everyone always notices the asian table, or the black table, but we don't sit back and look at all the white tables. (I guess this applies mostly to people who go to majority white schools).</p>
<p>My school is 40% white and 60% hispanic...and cliques get ugly when their defending their "turf"</p>
<p>Private school
My school is 95% white and maybe 4% Asian, 1% Black......</p>
<p>No real racial cliques but I have to say that I personally feel quite secluded....</p>
<p>ebonyqueen, my school is almost exaclty like yours. Except it's more divided along intellectual lines where the"mainstream" kids(mostly black) are apart from the IB kids (mostly white, asian, indian, a few hispanics). But within the IB program at my school, the koreans generalyl hang out with each other but pretty much everyone else is integrated.</p>
