It's Bedford Park and my point was that people were being irrational. I do think the term was used to refer to a lack of paleness--white people are a minority but not unusual. A lot of people speak Spanish. It's not a dangerous neighborhood but my kids went to school in an area with different demographics and I think that people felt out of their element which exaggerated their fear.
Where were most of the other kids from, Riverdale?
Convience, first, followed by safety! By safety, I mean safe from both cats who would rob me and folk who will throw a rock in my window (or two, or three, or four!) because I'm of color!

You're so open but you refuse to say what the area was that the parents lived in or the area of the school, and then you expect us to take you seriously...

If it's a private school, I can only think of places like Country Club or Riverdale. The hilltop schools in Riverdale are some of the finest in the nation and quite hoity-toity. Parents that live in Westchester send their kids there. Odd that you would send your kids there given your complaints.
