<p>Not exactly correct. True, Bowdoin is quite diverse overall, but Asians do not count as “URMs.” Only blacks and Hispanics. Asians make up the largest group of racial minorities at Bowdoin. An environment that is hospitable to Asians, who are not considered “URMs”, does not necessarily extend to African Americans, who are considered URMs. They can have very different experiences at the same school.</p>
<p>The links posted by angeBunny provide a more accurate picture of the climate for African Americans, specifically, IMHO. There is also a Bowdoin video somewhere featuring several black Bowdoin students. It was fairly gut-wrenching. Unfortunately.</p>
<p>I’m just saying.</p>
