My elementary school was pretty diverse, and a lot of the time I was accused of "acting white" or "talking white" by some of my friends that weren't on the honors track. The kids in my classes never really seemed to have issue with the way I was.

My high school, on the other hand, was nearly 90% black, though the bulk of my close friends weren't (and still aren't). I think by that point, most people just assumed that I wasn't going to try to fit the stereotypical mold, and people just accepted me as I was. I wasn't what one would conventionally call popular, but because I was so involved in a lot of groups in the school, people knew who I was, and I rarely got shit from anyone.
