[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Was there an incident there?[/quote]

Like a protest getting mowed down at UVA, rampant child abuse at Penn State, or the murder at UMD in recent years? Can you be more specific? [/quote]

What reason do you have to bring UVA up? The UVA haters on this forum are getting restless...

UVA is not racist. The protests a few years back were mostly organized by out-of-towners who had converged at Charlottesville to protect a Confederate statue. It is only an unlucky set of circumstances that those protests are now associated with UVA. Please get your facts straight before attacking a school.

And for the record, UVA offers a fantastic education and is in a much better location than fly-over country Indiana. Charlottesville is a sophisticated, charming town every bit as worldly as D.C./NOVA/Bethesda. These days, the student culture at UVA is very left-leaning so you won't have any issues with diversity or racism.[/quote]

Thank you, white person! My Asian husband had a different experience.

So anyway, Indiana is a state that never allowed slavery. The campus and buildings were not built with slave labor or by a slave owner. And while it may not be a perfect town, there wasn't an actual hate crime murder there in very recent memory, as there has been at UVA and UMD. So don't try to act like Midwestern schools automatically equal less diverse/more racism, when you have plenty of that right here in the DMV.[/quote]
