| I mentioned this on another thread and was roundly lambasted for daring to do so, but the daughter of someone I know just decided to leave her southern LAC after one semester because of racism she encountered. She is Latina by birth, but adopted by a white family (in northern NE) as a baby. She apparently heard many remarks of a kind that she had not encountered before, directed at her as well as at other non-white students. She apparently feels that this was a kind of endemic-to-the-region kind of racism. I'm not saying that she is correct in her estimation, simply reporting her feelings. Certainly there are adults here that display the same attitudes. I gather that she had not encountered it in her peers before. |
