The jubilation on the white kids faces is what?s sending me

Why?re the black kids shoved off into the corner like that? That?s the main issue here

According to the 2011 Census, 79.2% of South Africans (41 million) were 'Black Africans', 8.9% were Coloured (4.62 million), 8.9% were white (4.59 million), 2.5% were 'Indian or Asian' (1.29 million) and only 0.2% (280.4 thousand) who declared another race.

They have affirmative action in South Africa, but with education post-high school costing a fortune, who do you think gets the higher end jobs?

It could be that the Black kids naturally wanted to be around one another and hang out together in class often.

Could be a completely innocent photo.

I never attended a predominately White school as a child but I'd imagine that it feels something like what I feel at work when it comes to the predominate White staff there vs. the smaller group of POC staff.
Naturally I gravitate to the POC's. Yes it is some form of segregation but it's where I am more comfortable and can be more of myself.

Hopefully the parents can find a school where there is more variety. That seems to be the issue here. The picture just emphasizes that IMO.

The pic was taken on their first day of school

[Young]

Omffff

And these assigned seats! You see the names on the tape at the top?

Like even IF the kids decided to sit like that, isn't up to the teachers to get them to integrate?
And it was a teacher who took that photo and sent it a parent/teacher WhatsApp group to let everyone how their kids first day was going
