<p>Anyone at Emory care to opine on this?
Beta?s</a> Cheers Are Offensive | The Emory Wheel
The comments are pretty rough, as is the description of the events...</p>
<p>First I’ve heard of it. My first thoughts are, “That’s inappropriate.”, “That is uncharacteristic of my experiences here.”, and “That isn’t actually racist, though it is nationalist and ignorant.” </p>
<p>If you’re a prospective student, I wouldn’t let it scare you off. This is the first I’ve ever heard of an incident like that. </p>
<p>The minority students that I know, Asian or otherwise, are generally well accepted on campus. If we have a problem though, I would say that we could use a little less self-segregation at social events–though, this is a collective (and not ultimately very serious) problem.</p>
<p>Please don’t let a few foolish students represent the entire Emory student body.</p>
<p>Did the Emory Wheel ever print something like this before? I usually check the Emory Wheel and noted that there weren’t many articles written about stuff like this.</p>
<p>Nor would it be typical. Emory has a significant Asian community, a relationship with Korea going back into the 1800s, a presence in India and the Dalai Lama as a Distinguished Professor. Emory grads are highly recruited to teach English in Korea.</p>
