Instead of painting a rosy picture to get people here, I tell what I've seen. Plus, I've been in Greenville longer than some of the newcomers saying they've not seen any racism.

I don't remember saying in that first post that their kids would be ostracized and called slurs everyday. I said they might get teased a little but they'd probably do fine. My guess is that you're not in school right now and I am so no offense but I might be able to tell them a little better.
Where do you go to school, Hillybilly High? lol Greenville has a ton of foreigners due to BMW, Michillein, etc. There's always going to be teasing, but overt racism? Don't think so.

Hillbilly High? Thank you for completely proving the point of everything I've said on this forum and being a bad representative of transplants. I'm not a hillbilly but you're basically calling me one.

I think the teasing I was talking about was more social irresponsibility with comments and less racial slurs, etc.

Original poster, please don't pay attention to some of this stuff. There are a few people that want Greenville to stagnate, but its already too late for that so they should give it up. Plan a visit to our beautiful area.

Since when did I say I wanted racism? I just gave them the facts.

guest, what are you talking about? I never said anything about you and racism. I will agree you're just calling it like you see it. But get out more ok.

Also, we are planning on adopting children from Africa in the near future.

Is this something that I should be worried about? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
NO there is something you should pray about..........think of Peter , he prayed un till he was he was in a trance . the Bible records. he was Gentile phobic, but He prayed until God made it clear. If Peter never prayed , World History would not have been the same. Oh I know God CAN use any thing to Get His point across ...LIKE WHEN IT SNOWED AT THE GLOBAL WARMING CONFERENCE IN LONDON........

Ummmmm........... I'm sure not backwoods, but I'm also not progressive/liberal thank you very much.

All kids get teased for one thing or another, doesn't really make a difference what their race is. The kids who do the teasing are just as likely to have 'progressive' parents as they are to have backwoods or conservative parents in my experience.

Don't worry!!! They'll (you'll) be fine. Kids are kids and they tease. They tease in New York, they tease California, they tease Florida, and they tease in Alaska. They tease if you wear braces, they tease if you wear glasses, they tease if your fat, they tease if your skinny, they tease if your tall, they tease if your short...
Will they be ostracized....No. So with that said I'll agree with Guest (if just this one time)
