Groves Does Not Have A Big Segregation Problem
When we look at the all the racial problems around the world, it's hard to say that Groves has a problem. we have many different races at our school, and because of that we can meet people from many different backgrounds. I think this link is very interesting, especially when it mentions that white kids tend to go to a school that is predominately white and much less diverse than that of the average black kid. While I think that there is a little bit of segregation between races, I believe that it is mainly because people tend to gravitate towards similar people, rather than because they're prejudice. I think that as humans we tend to look for something we have in common with another person, and we feel very uncomfortable when we aren't able to see something in common. For that reason, I think that people are more likely to befriend someone of their own race, gender, and/or religion. I'll end it with this poll and a question: do you think that a lot of segregation is due to human psychology or prejudice?
