have you seen the Chris Rock sketch? Funny, and not funny all at the same time.
Anyway, I understand the self segregation thing. I lived in an enthnic theme dorm my freshman year and everyone would go off to their own cultural lounges and hangouts, and I'd stay in the dorm. No one ever invited me, and I didn't feel welcome (maybe it was the girl who told the whole dorm she didn't talk to white people before a year ago... who knows). Then when sorority rush came around they all publically bashed it. I was told the entire year how I wasn't open or understanding of their cultural situation (how could I, I'm white!), and had to make an effort, but they were allowed to all bash a cultural institution that wasn't theirs. No one had an open mind for that! All in all I found it hypocritical. Now, I think that integration is good, and an effort should be made. I do make one, just not with the people in my freshman dorm (I'll go for someone I have something in common with, like a passion for fashion or pre med or what have you). Not only that, I am committed to raising my future children in a diverse community, as I see that to be the best way to solve these problems.
