When I was at school in the 'burbs there were several Jewish kids in the year, the rest of us were Protestant or Catholic, including a black girl and a lad with with dual ethnicity (or whatever the correct PC terms are now). Senior school wasn't much different, except there was a Chinese kid and a Pakistani kid in our year.
But no girls :(
