Racism at Smith

<p>The thing is, I am extremely comfortable talking about race issues in the classroom, in the public sphere, wherever…it’s just one of the articles mentioned that race issues are seen as taboo at Smith and how no one really wants to talk about it for fear that their opinion goes against the mainstream.</p>

<p>I, of course, am not going to base whether or not I am going to Smith on the editorial (in all truthfulness, I am definitely going) it was just a bit alarming to see it in their student newspaper. Maybe I’m a bit spoiled, being from the bay area, where nothing is ever taboo. :)</p>

<p>But NYC, I highly regard your opinion, and if you say that it’s not that big of a deal, then I will take your word for it.</p>
