<p>-I can almost guarantee you that you cannot find a single visible black or hispanic student that will say “No, i have never felt discriminated against or stereotyped in my life based on race” </p>
<p>I also find it very ignorant of you that you say your friend experienced “absolutely no discrimination” when you truly have no idea whether he has or not.</p>
<p>Also, the black-white achievement gap is just as large for the upperclass as for the lowerclass, which proves something other than economics is causing the gap. (though class is a problem in that a larger proportion of minorities are poor compared to whites)</p>
<p>I honestly think you just like being cynical for the sake of it. In your eyes colleges are greedy tyrants who solely care about PR and could not POSSIBLY care about the student body.</p>
<p>Wasn’t it you who said that we are arguing on the way it “should be”? In which case the way it “should be”, which i believe is the way it is, is that colleges should want diversity in the student body because they care about the students and not about PR.</p>
<p>and your poor example on how a hispanic student would have different views on Kent? that was lame. But i do think that having black or hispanic students involved in a discussion about US History, or Poverty and culture would add different perspectives.</p>
<p>I’m also curious to why the fact that students form “cliques” should cause schools to give up on racial diversity. Have you ever considered that the lack of exposure to racial diversity may be what caused this behavior?</p>
