"She is a premed major and says that her freshman year her biology professor indirectly questioned whether or not she could adequately complete the prereqs for the premed track because of her race."

Is it possible that the "indirect question" was more a matter of the student misperceiving the instructor? I live on an island that is ninety percent West Indian (black), ten percent "other" -- Puerto Rican/Asian/continental (white.) When an "other" perceives racism, s/he is informed by the majority that his/her perception is mistaken.
