[QUOTE]We had a discussion about culture and diversity in one of my classes today, and some kid literally said "I don't like mexicans".  I think almost everyone's jaw's dropped. I know mine did.  I know people have ethnic biases, but holy crap, don't just openly say it out loud like that. In an openly culturally diverse class with several hispanic students.   Posted by NMac2010[/QUOTE]

We had a (different) mom call the other day and blab on for over 30 minutes.  Her son attends Brigham Young University and she wants her son to enroll somewhere else where there is less diversity because she doesn't want her kid to have classes with students from India.  No joke.  International students make up 80% of our students.  Look at the field that he is trying to go into, he is not going to be able to hide in a cave.  Idiot.

Sometimes when I contact several vendors of the same type, I don't respond to the ones that I am not interested in. It gets awkward when they follow-up.  I'm so bad about that.

Shortgirl-where do you work?

Don't be sad Lacey, all races are discriminated against to an extent. It's the American way. HAH. That's terribly sad because America is known to foreign countries as a place that is accepting of other cultures and ethnicities.

I think I knew that. Both my MIL and FIL work up at North Texas.

On that note, I am posting from the backseat of a convertible on 161 right now.  This weather is awesome!
