[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I graduated from Harvard Business School in the 90s. The Asian community has been having separate ceremonies/lunches/dinners for the Asian students for years. This isn't any different. In the Asian community, it happens at every school I know of.

Stop looking for things that aren't there...and stop letting the media shape your thoughts.

FYI- Here is the text of the invitation that I received via email today:
----------------------------------
Harvard Black Commencement 2017 will be the first university-wide celebration of graduate students [b]who identify with the African diaspora[/b][u] at Harvard University. The ceremony will honor the accomplishments of graduating students and their families and will serve as a demonstration of unity and strength among our Harvard community.

In addition to a keynote speaker, the ceremony will feature a performance, student speakers (see below) and acknowledgement of graduating students.

We hope you can join us in celebrating the legacy of social belonging among Black students at Harvard University.

Interesting.  So does this include white Africans?  [/quote]
Such a 90s question. [/quote]

I have no idea what that means.  If it's a 90s questions, you've had twenty years of practice answering it, while I've only been here (in this country) for a few.  Want to give it a shot?[/quote]

PS.  I only asked since it clearly states "African diaspora", which includes a whole host of nations and races.[/quote]
