When you say "people with no experience with other groups have to rely on stereotypes" I can't argue, that's completely true. When he makes broad sweeping generalizations about entire geographic regions I have to object because it's no better than making sweeping generalizations about entire creeds, colors, genders, or sexual orientations.

I simply stated that outside of cities in those areas it is more prominent. Inside of cities or areas that are more cultured it is much better.
I feel like you are trying to start a fight as you clearly could figure out my intent.
This thread is basically gone but imo that whole thread in itself was bad.
If we want to make first more diverse we can't create a thread and then tell people that this thread should only have POC speak in it; it's straight up segregation. If that wasn't the original intent of this thread forget what I'm saying but it feels like it was.
Having POC in first is great and I want more but, the real goal of first is to inspire ALL students not just poc.
This thread has gotten me enough red dots so I'm going to stop.
