It was interesting that there were designated places in the lunch room and around the school that were for Latinos and other places for White students. The one time that sticks out in my mind that Latinos and White students mixed and socialized with one another was during lunch hour in the gym. It started off as being the Latino boys wanting to play soccer and getting permission to have friendly games at the gym. The word spread and little by little other students would stop by and watch them play. Eventually Latinos invited others to join the games, and it became a daily routine of boys from all backgrounds playing together. Racism wasn't something my high school wanted to address, they were very fond of colorblindness. For the most part most White students were nice to minorities, but it was more of a problem of not socializing with one another. Sports definitely is a good way to get that socializing going; it is a good neutral platform to unite people of all backgrounds and take a step towards equality.
