Ever laughingly told me two little anecdotes when she got home from school today.
1) Somebody in one of her classes asked her where she was going to go to high school. She said, "Probably El Camino, but maybe Coastal." A boy responded, "Don't go to El Camino. You won't fit in there. You should go to Coastal where all the white people are." (El Camino is our district school, and it, like the middle school Ever attends now, is majority Hispanic. Great Schools says it is 19% white.)
2) They were talking in her history class about how Christopher Columbus wasn't Spanish, and someone asked if he was really white. The teacher, Ms. Williams, replied, "Well, not as white as Ever."
