Despite what I said about our greek system, those who actually hang out on campus during the day (instead of going to the beach like a normal person) comprised the "inspiration" for this article, which I wanted to see if your school had the same kind of effect. I think this girl is really ignorant; if she ever took a look on a regular basis, these so called spots aren't ALWAYS dominated by one ethnic group (Or maybe it's cause I hang out at ALL these spots at various times) :

De facto segregation at SDSU a result of cultural, racial division
By Kinsee Morlan, Staff Writer
Even with the recent budget cuts that have caused a drop in numerical enrollment, San Diego State University President Stephen Weber promises to maintain the university's diversity enrollment in order to achieve its shared vision of creating a community that can be proud of its diversity. As far as sheer numbers go, the school has actualized this vision and Weber, along with the multicolored, multicultural student body, should scramble to the top of a mountain and proudly announce to the world that we have achieved what the civil rights movement set out to accomplish.
