@BillRM,
Bill, Thanks for sharing that picture.
When I was in elementary school in Sacramento, our students were mostly minorities with just a few "white" kids. All our teachers were white.
We attended a 50th reunion from our elementary school many decades ago, and I was surprised to learn many became doctors, lawyers, and other professionals, considering we all came from the "wrong side of the tracks," Sab Shimono even became a movie actor. He was in Midway, and acted the part of a Japanese pilot. He told me close ups and speaking parts paid the most for actors.
