9. I get that

I'm white, but last night, we were at an honor band concert. That's where places with many small rural high schools get the best of the band kids from a bunch of schools together for a day to get them the experience of playing in a really large band.

It was the whitest group of kids I've ever seen in my life. There was literally one black kid there (a girl from the school district our small school does plays with) and one who I suspect was Latino. But they did have all shades of blonde covered!

I wish we lived in a place where our kids would encounter diversity more often.
