quesiton about diversity

<p>are there more fobs ( fresh of the boat) , or minorities from america, at colgate</p>

<p>what? I don't understand? :/</p>

<p>What stonecold23 means is...</p>

<p>Are the minorities at Colgate american minorities (e.g. african americas, asian americans, hispanic-americans), at least first generation. Or are the minorites at Colgate immigrants/international students?</p>

<p>I think that's what you mean.</p>

<p>It's kind of difficult to separate those two because the statistics push them together. I mean, a Chinese student would be double-counted- for international AND for Asian minority. But I would say that there are more American minorities (by your definition) than the actual internationals.</p>

<p>from USNews:
African-American 4%
Asian-American 6%
Hispanic 4%
Native American 1%
White 80%
International 5% </p>

<p>mod-low minority #'s compared to the top LACs.</p>

<p>yeah they dont have a lot of diversity there...but i think in general people are accepting and nice, so thats better than being at a school with lots of diversity and no interaction between groups</p>

<p>Colossus, that couldn't be further from the truth. The school is trying to address diversity issues by taking more minorities, not fewer. Trust me, it's a big issue on campus and with alums.</p>

<p>... which school wld push to reduce diversity...</p>

<p>Just check out Colossus' other posts.</p>

<p>Haha this guy is hilarious!</p>

<p>I guess Colossus' posts were somehow removed. Is someone monitoring what 'appropriate' answers should be?</p>

<p>His posts were pretty out there.</p>

<p>why what did he say?</p>

<p>He claimed Colgate admins wanted to make the school 95% white and heard this from "people in the know" at golf outings, square dances and polo matches. Among other things, he also mocked potential Wash U students who were concerned about too much drinking and partying, but don't know if those threads were deleted too.</p>

<p>Can you say TROLL</p>

<p>Normally a troll at least has a point they're trying to make. He was just being confrontational and disruptive with no apparent agenda.</p>
