Racism at Boston College?

<p>I’m quite bowled over with this story, and you should know that since you have only posted twice, people may think you are a ■■■■■ and not sincere in the telling of your story. I feel the comment is so unfounded, I think it’s important to share my son’s experience last year at BC. DS transferred from BC following his freshman year because he is a film guy and BC only had a film studies major–no school of film. I’m giving you that as the backdrop so you understand why he left–and it was absolutely and positively NOT because he ever saw or heard or experienced any sort of bullying, hazing, discrimination, or any other sort of untoward behavior–nor did he witness anything of the sort. DS looks like an ad for Irish tourism, so on one level, as a tall, blue-eyed Catholic male, he may fit what your stereotype is of BC. His BEST, BEST friends, however, were three very cool young men who were Jewish and one amazing young Asian man who was an international student from the Philippines. Even though DS is now on the West Coast, he still keeps in touch with his four BFF, has been back to BC to see them, and they to CA to see him. As a Jesuit institution, the sort of behavior you describe would be completely out of the norm and is not even close to the experience my son had at BC. They don’t have a film school, unfortunately, or DS would still be there, but they also certainly DO NOT have a bunch of entitled, crazy-acting racists marauding through its lovely campus. </p>
