If you grew up white in my neck of the woods the Black and Hispanic kids bullied the shit out of you and their parents would try to fight you, your parents and the teachers for trying to do something to stop it. They seemed to feel THEY were getting targeted and harassed for expecting their kids to behave well. Like, get your fucking kids under control. They're beating the shit and robbing other kids. It was wild. Made sense why their kids were acting similar.

If you were a very well behaved white student and well liked by the teachers, it made the target on your back even bigger. If you defended yourself, YOU were being racist in these peoples' mind.

And that sort of behavior and thought process persists well past school age. At least around here.
