Posted by Diamond on 8/11/08
I am a bi-racial female teacher in Montana and the amount of
racism I have experienced here is less than what I
experienced in Mississippi. Most people have never been
around minorities here but they are very open and willing to
get to know you for who you are and not what your race is.
My kids are almost full black and they are doing very well
in the schools. It was a culture shock at first but cost of
living is low and crimes are low here so it is worth it.
