Okay, well first off, I live in NC, I moved here from NY a few years ago, and I'm white, and the schools are so NOT racist. Most of my white friends are dating black guys, so I'm not sure where you got your idea that we're all racist, but hey, we're not! There are some people that still think racistly, but unless you go to an all black school (yes, they do have those) you'll be fine. I think I have more colored friends than I do white (that includes all races, I have asian friends, african american friends, native american friends, all sorts). So yeah, when I read the racism thing it just kind of made me mad.
What part are you moving to? Where are you moving from? Is it still possible to visit your friends? We go back to NY at least once a year and me and my sister visit usually visit this one girl that used to live up the street from us, Katelyn. It isn't that bad to have to move, it takes some getting used to, but maybe if you and all of your friends have a myspace or xanga you can still keep in touch a whole lot. Maybe plan a trip back to wherever you're from duringt he summer and just stay with one of them for a week or something.

Wow, on the racism tip, I feel you. My boyfriend is half-black, and I cant imagine being forced to only associate and date white people.
Although there's no such thing as schools being legally segregated, of course there will be schools w/ mostly white people and some w/ mostly minorities. The best choice would be a school that is equally white and minorities, but if thats not an option then if i were you, I'd go to the "white" school. Only because you're white, and would most definately be "shunned" FOR that if you went to the other school. Sorry if i dont make sense..
Just try to make friends at your new school and w/ your new neighbors. Spend a lot of time w/ your friends while you can. Maybe you can go back during winter and spring vacay, or your friends can come to you?..
Hope I helped..

Ohh man that really sucks. While I've never had it happen to me, I know plenty of people who have had it happen to them.
I wouldn't worry about racism. More diverse areas tend to have more racism, but the people who shun you aren't worth being your friends anyway.
You'll just have to remember your friends and keep in contact. Remember who helped you become who you are and always keep that with you.
Also, maybe you can convince your parents to send you to a private school. That might eliminate some of the racist problem.
