| My daughter had a roommate her freshman year that came the Bronx..she is Puerto Rican and my daughter is white. They became fast friends and next yr will share an apartment along with her current roomate.
It would never occur to her to consciously choose a roomate that was just like her
Her friend went to a school in NC ( High Point, I believe ) and had the same issue with suitemates that were not happy sharing with a white girl from NJ.
Even though she tried to befriend them and invite them to various activities and events, they were unwilling to comply.
One might think it would be the other way around, but it was not. |
