<p>the whole issue is so overblown at UVA it’s ridiculous. Many, many people have friends from all different races and you will have no trouble finding people with open minds. that said, of course there is some self-segregation, but let’s not pretend that this is isolated to UVA, because it’s not.</p>
<p>I think the real reason you keep hearing trumped up charges of racism at UVA is because many people’s jobs depend on there being racism. There is an entire “diversity” industry in this country that claims they want to end racism. but if racism was eradicated, they would lose their jobs and influence, so what they do instead is become “professional victims” and blow all incidences of racism way out of proportion. It is an absolute and total disgrace that UVA is sometimes labeled as a hotbed of racism, because nothing could be further from the truth.</p>
<p>Please do not let this hearsay affect your decision to matriculate.</p>
