<p>No way, I certainly hope it doesn’t clique by races.</p>
<p>I talked and hung out with the white people more than with the Asians at the orientation. Most of the Asians I saw were a little… boring.</p>
<p>And naw, even if that happened, there are plenty of white people.</p>
<p>Whites aren’t really the minority, the majority seems to be split between Asian and White. For me, being white and coming from a predominantly Hispanic school, it was seriously a culture shock. There will always be racial cliques, wherever you are, but at UCSD everyone mingled together.</p>
<p>Haha. Culture shocks are the best!</p>
<p>Up until High School, I was a Spanish-speaking Asian attending East LA schools (which were 99% Hispanic). Then, I moved out into the suburbs where it was 50% White, 40% Mexican, 10% other–now that was weird :{</p>
<p>Yeah man, my high school is like 80% Hispanic, so UCSD was like…whoa. I actually felt out of place, even though I was part of the majority again, haha.</p>
<p>Even though UCSD is a lot more monochromatic than I’m used to, I was glad to see that most people didn’t seem to hold any racial judgements.</p>
<p>I didn’t feel that race was a factor at all at orientation… I was actually suprised: some of the activities included discussions about discrimination and open-mindedness for college - I live in san diego and after hearing about some people’s experiences, I was kinda shocked at the racism that some go through. Maybe it’s SD, maybe it’s where I live… I dunno, but I hate racists.</p>
<p>Which group were you in for session 4 orientation?</p>
