<p>to answer the question, oh yes, there will be some covert racism EVERYWHERE for the rest of your life. I agree with bite size but also with ambrosia18. But people will look at you and assume they are better, profs will assume that you are an AA charity case. PROVE THEM WRONG, well that is if you are truly qualified in the first place. No one will burn a cross in your front yard, but my parents have told me stories about how profs told them to do easier majors, like psych where most of “their people” are, or that most of “their people” would be happy to get a B, etc. Or where in group work they are the only ones to get a C while everyone else gets an A. Stand your ground, don’t be pessimistic, but don’t allow the BS. In this day and age, you can get profs fired for saying things like that. </p>
<p>P.S. I also agree with onbeauty’s last comment about “not having a spot”.</p>
