my school district in texas became 45% white, 45% black, and 10% hispanic when it desegregated in 1971. until the population of the town doubled 25-30 years later, the demographic breakdown of the district stayed that way. my senior class had 43 white students, 45 black students, 8 hispanic students, and 2 asian students in 1979. my sister’s senor class was 48 white, 46 black, and 11 hispanic in 1984.
