Hang out with people of their own kind???
what…?

Um anyway, I’m black so I’ll answer from my perspective and keep it real.

I feel there’s “enough” (for lack of a better word) black people here. I’ve heard of others who feel there are fewer black people than they anticipated. We’re about 4% of the school…14% of the nation. It depends on one’s background. I think the black people who come from really black schools (I’m talking >70%) have a lot of adjusting to do.
I’m a freshman, and I’ve never been discriminated against. I’ve heard of people who have been discriminated against (I also was told by an Asian friend she was told something racist).
I mean this is Texas…there will be racists, but they shouldn’t hinder you from doing anything.
And yes, black people are glued together for the most part. But that can be said about…any group…I see large groups of Asians, Muslims, Indians, you name it. People don’t do it on purpose. We befriend people who are like us, and people who are like us tend to be of the same ethnicity. I honestly think most people are open to befriending anyone.
