Segregation is immediately pejorative; can't deny, however the potential for a negative 'shock' exists for children of color whose entire experience has been in the company of others of of similar appearance when they are thrust into a new environment populated to a great degree by people who look different than they or their friends and families do.

I'm guessing I wasn't the first 5 year old to tear up when dropped off at school that first day and I was a white bread boy in a rural white bread town in Western PA
