<p>I’ve been debating what I want to say about this, and I still don’t know. Ds hasn’t had any problems, though his college has single-digit Hispanic numbers. Fear of racism is one reason I wanted him to go to a smaller school with Minnesota nice. 
He’s said a couple of people have made “jokes” about him being Hispanic, but it was no big deal. We are the kind to just blow off that kind of thing, and he’s not the kind of join a race-based organization on campus.</p>
<p>While ds always has identified Hispanic he’s only half so maybe it just doesn’t bother him like it might others. We live in an area that’s quite hospitable to Hispanics, and, in fact, Hispanics are a majority minority in the public schools. I don’t think my kids ever have really experienced racism, though I have as have my parents. I don’t try to shield them from racism – they are well aware it exists – but they’re lucky enough to not have had to deal with it in their own lives.</p>
<p>OP, I do think that being at a top-notch, liberal college will help. People are just more inherently PC. I know a minority kid at MIT and haven’t heard that he’s had any problems.</p>
