<p>I have no interest in arguing about Washington and Lee being racist or not but I just thought I would give my two cents. Both of my parents went to Washington and Lee. My dad was a white middle class male from up North (not a rich southerner) and my mother is from India and my grandmother spent all of her money to send her to America for college (not white, definitely not rich, southern but not the kind you are talking about) so I definitely don’t think they are racist by any means. I visited the campus and yes while many of the students are white, I am white but I am half-indian so you can’t just tell by looking at someone. You don’t know their background or their academic stats. My dad obviously married my mom so he wasn’t racist, and my mom never experienced a racist student or faculty member while at Washington and Lee. She raves about it all of the time, saying that you will meet the nicest people ever there. They have a whole speaking-tradition to encourage friendliness among students and other visitors. In my opinion, you are reading too much into these numbers. A visit to the school will tell you they aren’t racist.</p>
