<p>This is not just for black people. I just want to know what other african american are apply to Columbia.</p>

Wo ai ne ah</p>
<p>Was that your sad attempt at humor? </p>
<p>I think that you are not a very nice person, dusk.</p>
<p>What worries me more is that you will probaly get in and I will not.
That’s the beauty of this world.</p>
<p>anxious…ii now see y ur annoyed by this person…</p>
<p>I’m not black (though I do have a 'fro), but honestly, Duskstamper makes me dread college–what if it’s people like him all around? Not only does he seem to get off on acting arrogant and putting people down, he also sees fit to stereotype an entire group of people based on an image of them created by the media. And no, I don’t think OHOSFABULOUS2007 or whatever is funny either. It’s all in pretty bad taste–anxious1, how do you feel about it?</p>
<p>“Duskstamper makes me dread college”</p>
<p>antisthenes, I think you are a bit too hard on dusk, I’m sure everyone comes off as a different individual when we “discuss” matters online. However, with that said, It was unprofessional of him to say that but I suspect that that was his attempt at expressing his disgust at all the new “racial boards” (i.e. desi, asian, & etc).</p>
<p>“wo ai ne ah” means “I love you” in chinese.</p>
<p>The internet is a place where you can just be stupid and not care, I guess.</p>
<p>I see your point, Del, but I’m making a generalization about Duskstamper from his other posts too. And yeah, I think you’re right. But I do think he’s not very socially skilled.</p>
<p>Robert, South Florida</p>
<p>Delfire is right. If you know me in real life, I’m the nicest and most humble guy ever. Promise.</p>
<p>I am annoyed at threads such as “Desi party” or the “African American party”. You know, lots of colleges are essentially segregated like this too. Why can’t we all be human beings and exclude others. I’m really sick of this crap. My high school is starting to segregate itself too with all these “affinity groups”. Ugh.</p>
<p>it isnt created to seperate ppl…anyway…before any of these threads…how many of you just thought most of the people were white…or asian or somethin…i mean it just brings to light what we are…but that doesnt mean we still can’t chat with you…heck im not African American, yet im posting on this site…you make it seem though as if…they stop any other race from joining and thats not true about this site or about the groups in school…its just awareness and i guess building a culture w/i a school…nothing wrong with that…its not like only desi ppl can join or w/e…okay buh bye</p>
<p>excuse me if you had read the first post you would have known that I was simply trying to see how many black applicants there were on CC.</p>
<p>I specifically said that this is not just for African Americans. I am not going to apologize. Your reaction if anything only antagonized the situation. Good Job at promoting acceptance there. I really am highly offended that you espouse such a stereotypical image of black people.
And duskstamper you say that you get tired of segregation, how do you think that i feel?</p>
<p>What would it seem like if I made a thread called,</p>
<p>“White Anglo Saxon Protestant Partay! Oh yeah!”
You would have to extraordinary not to feel a bit miffed about that, irregardless of the party’s intentions. To emulate your “newfound” sophisticated utilization of vocabulary, what do you mean how do you feel? You think you have it worse than asians? Trust me, I’ve experienced my share of racism.</p>
<p>sexydesi…the affinity group in my schools…kicked out the people of other races from the clubs…hell…i couldnt join…the southeast asian club…i agree that it promotes culture…but only if exclusivity exists as well…i bet columbia, like other schools…is kinda segregated as well</p>
<p>anxious are u speaking to me?..because if anything my post totally agrees with your post.</p>
<p>‘it isnt created to seperate ppl…anyway…before any of these threads…how many of you just thought most of the people were white…or asian or somethin…i mean it just brings to light what we are…but that doesnt mean we still can’t chat with you…heck im not African American, yet im posting on this site…you make it seem though as if…they stop any other race from joining and thats not true about this site or about the groups in school…its just awareness and i guess building a culture w/i a school…nothing wrong with that…its not like only desi ppl can join or w/e…okay buh bye’</p>
<p>that was meant toward duckstamper dear…im sorry you misunderstood me…i was trying to say that you dont say only African Americans can join…your offended by what i said?..i dont kno why</p>
<p>No i was talking to Dusk</p>
<p>everyone overreacts to everything said on these boards…just like the “chinaman’s chance” thread…you guys take yourselves way too seriously. how anyone can be offended by some stupid post made by a complete stranger on a message board is beyond me. and i agree with dusk on this one, im kind of sick of all the “desi party” and “asian party” posts. how can you apply to a school like columbia and be so sensitive to racial tensions? learn to laugh at yourselves guys.</p>
<p>heh i guess the only thing you can say to that is really who cares if your sick of it…i like it…its not offensive to anyone…soo god can we just stop bytchin over everything…columbia rocks…</p>
<p>“am annoyed at threads such as “Desi party” or the “African American party”. You know, lots of colleges are essentially segregated like this too. Why can’t we all be human beings and…”</p>
