Racial diversity


I'm not sure, but I think every student in the movie was white. Wasn't Wellesley a bit more diverse than depicted?

Not according to the Class of 55 website..... all white:

I was actually surprised when, during the scene where the girls are all leaving for the Christmas holidays, I saw an Asian girl and a black girl.

I figure the producers wanted to show a bit more diversity, but thought that in reality the student body was mostly, if not all, rich, white girls.

It would have been all white at that time. And the whitest of the white at that.

A nostalgic dream.
