racism in texas tech

<p>so im an junior asian student who is considering texas a&m or texas tech for one of my future college to major in engineering or computer science area.
but i heard there was serious racism in these colleges in texas...
is this true?
i dont want to go to school filled with bunch of white racists stupidly feeling superior (rednecks) even if its a really good tech school</p>

<p>and you don’t think that was racist?? callin white southern people rednecks?</p>

<p>sorry if i was offensive
i kinda got ****ed off when i saw the video of whites just bullying the black students in texas
and i heard a lot of bad things so…
sorry once again but how bad is it?</p>

<p>People at Texas Tech are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. Thats true for the majority of West Texas. Might not be the most diverse part of the state but never really noticed an racism during my time in Lubbock. Don’t have any experience with A&M so I cant say anything about that. I only heard bad things about their top sororities and not accepting any black chicks…but I don’t know if that would apply to you.</p>

<p>Please go ■■■■■. </p>

<p>I have a good friend on campus who is Asian. I am kind of jealous of the network that Asian people have on campus here at Texas A&M. My buddy plays on our intramural basketball team and another. Whenever they’re playing about 20 other asian kids come to watch and support and they regularly go eat together at the dining halls and stuff. It’s pretty cool.</p>

<p>that no way means there is no racism at A&M.</p>

<p>Have you heard of Southern Hospitality before? This is probably one of the friendliest schools in the country. But it all depends on you. If you’re not open to it, you won’t receive what it has to offer. If you don’t open your heart to fall in love with the people here, they won’t be able to help you feel at home. If this isn’t your comfort zone, and if you’re not willing to adapt, then you may struggle to be happy here. If you’re seriously thinking about coming here, you need to invest in taking a visit here to see what it’s like. And watching it on YouTube doesn’t count. If you’re not willing to invest in the human side of things, you’ll get out of it exactly what you put into it. An Asian computer programmer with limited English skills and zero exposure to the South who is thinking about coming here only because it has a cheap first-rate MIS program…probably isn’t the safest bet to start with. This isn’t a big city campus and you won’t find a massive Asian community on campus (3% of the students are Asian). As for your question about whether there is “racism” on campuses in Texas…it’s all in the eye of the beholder.</p>
