My elementary and middle school were almost exclusively black (neighborhoods too), and my highschool was far more mixed (majority black, but significant white and Hispanic popular). I think being in a mixed environment really opened my perspective on things at a younger age since my upbringing was surrounded by people that only looked like me.

Exactly. Mix it up! We have way too many adults that have grown up in a homogeneous environment and as a result lack understanding of people who don't look like them.
