I’ve had the same problem just this week I attended a two night biology conference that included free food and free hotel which was specifically for people of lower income. I hated the fact that when I went to go sign in they asked “are you with the minority conference?” it irritated me a bit because they can’t say are you here for the bio conference. Also for Santa Cruz they emailed me something for the Hispanic group over there. I personally liked to be treated like everyone else and don’t want any special help. I think it makes it seem like they are pointing out that you are a minority and need help to succeed in college. That black book thing is a slap in the face if I was an African American.
