This. My sister was bullied endlessly in middle school by these ghetto girls who taunted her for “trying to be White” (for the sin of reading books and being curious). Her grades were terrible and she would cry every day on the car ride home. School officials did nothing because the girls were Black and they were worried about being seen as racist.

We moved her to a more suburban district and now she’s thriving. There’s still trashy kids, but she’s in AP classes and has friends and doesn’t get taunted. It’s amazing what the environment does for kids.
