I grew up in central VT and all the black children (and many/almost all of the non-white kids) in our school were adopted into white families. I can't imagine how isolating it feels to be experiencing racism, and not have a parent to go to for lived experience support/advice. I heard about a lot of blatant racism towards these peers. I also found that sports culture was so depended on who participated, my grade level it was toxic for a lot of sports but a few years later I heard it was great.
