To Reed Students and Alumni

<p>Awesome! Thank you for your response! </p>

<p>Even though my high school is relatively large and diverse, due to the classes that I’m taking I’m pretty used to being the only black person in any given room. So that won’t be a problem but (I’m assuming you’re not african american here) is there a sense of ‘token’ blackness? I don’t know if this makes sense (it usually doesn’t unless you’ve actually experienced it), but I guess what I’m looking for is to be treated like a human being, rather than some exotic pet?</p>

<p>If you’ve seen the youtube video ‘**** White Girls Say (To Black Girls)’ you might get the idea.</p>

<p>If I ever get the chance, I will DEFINITELY visit Reed :D</p>
