| Mr Khan said: No. I've just been relatively isolated from other races for most of my life (white suburbia where you could count the number of non-white kids in my high school on two hands), so we often saw only the stereotypes of other races, absorbing minor racism (though a fair few in my HS were overt racists). College helped with that, given the high black population of Philadelphia, my trip to Japan, and my internship was a veritable rainbow of people: hispanic girl, black guy, asian girl, two white girls.
My college student body actually had a piss-poor diversity ratio. I think 9.1% of the entire student body was nonwhite. |
I knew one guy... it was hilarious. Everytime we'd go to his house he'd play the same damn two men in black songs from the men in black CD. Wouldn't stop, couldn't make him stop doing it. Was crazy. The theme song and the one with Snoop dog.
Anyway, my group of friends had a falling out with them because well, while we knew them forever... they were dicks... and had been forever but after a point it became too much.
2 months later, school starts back up. He's suddenly racist. Doesn't like Meticalica anymore because he thinks they ruined their music by working with a black guy. (Ja Rule). Like suddenly didn't like Jay Z at all.
Stupidist shit.
Then he and that group tried to rationalize that the reason a black guy was going to win prom King was because it would be "Hilarious." When in reality it was becaues he was the second most personable guy in school, the first having won Homecoming King, and you can only win one of those a year.
