New York Times Article on Race Relations

<p>

What’s your experience?</p>

<p>I’m a minority student here and I personally feel that the ‘racial tension’ is just a blown up issue… The article hardly tells you the whole story. They mention that black students are stopped and asked for IDs at the library, when showing your ID when entering the library is mandatory. Most students flash their ID’s as they enter, some sneak past, but even whites are stopped and asked for their IDs when they don’t do so voluntarily. I have noticed that some people take offense when asked to show their ID, which is a shame. </p>

<p>And about minorities and whites dining separately, I had never even given this a thought until after I read the article!</p>

<p>I am not saying race is not an issue at Trinity, it is just not as one-sided as shown in the article. My experience at Trinity has not been ruined by this, but, not everyone has the same experience at college.</p>
