#when i say that Neferet is an American first and a vampyre second this is precisely what i mean

Exactly, which to me suggests an actual culprit and motivation:

Neferet is less interested in enrolling new students than she is in enrolling future donors.

Does that mean, for multiple complex reasons including generational wealth and systemic disparities, that those fledglings are more likely to be white?

Yes, but she has also enrolled poor white students such as Stevie Rae Johnson.

Does that imply that she is also heavily motivated by racism, only wishing to extend her exclusive private tuition and a long future to students who are white and, if not white, then at least rich enough to pay her back in substantial donations to the school -- as is the case with both Zoey Redbird and Shaunee Cole?

Also yes.

In House of Night news, it has suddenly occurred to me (far later than it should have) that the Tulsa House of Night, located in a state with at least three major Native nations and reservations, where more than 7% of the population is Native, has only one named Native character in attendance - Zoey Redbird.

My good friends, what the fuck.
