<p>To be fair, I had a classmate who was from one of the rural areas of the state and he said there were people with confederate flags on their trucks (ignore the irony). That being said, obviously those guys aren’t spending their time in Providence and the only reason this ever came up is because we were just talking about where he’s from. Not a factor at all at Brown or Providence which are both extremely left leaning as fourloko said.</p>
<p>There is definitely not a dearth of minorities in Providence. Maybe the rich area of college hill on which Brown sits is is a little whiter than expected but to say there is “a dearth” of minorities in “the surrounding area” would be well beyond exaggeration and is a bold faced lie.</p>
