If you look at the whole statement you will see that i was saying prejudice
does not have to be particularly bad to be a problem. I don't know where
MIT lies with respect to the nation, I haven't done the research. I am
guessing neither have you. The other part of my statment was that just
because you haven't experianced prejudice, doesn't mean others haven't.
Personaly I have not experianced many problems because of my race at MIT or
most other places i have lived. Unfortunatly not everyone has been as lucky
as me. I hope this clarifies my previous statment.
