The school I attended is 41% minority [1] with a significant international contingent. Only two of the top ten in my graduating class were American and one of those two was an economically disadvantaged Hispanic girl (and my ex-girlfriend). Slavery was treated as America's original sin and we covered race in America in more detail than most schools (we used the exact same US History textbook used in every AP course [2]). Our literature and rhetoric courses covered writings by Frederick Douglass and MLK Jr. in extreme detail.
