[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s sad that she’s a Muslim immigrant from an Arab country (Sudan) yet she is expected to be the “spokesperson” for black tj students. Her life experiences have likely been very different than those of US-born African-Americans yet she is treated as the unwanted black kid in class. Sad on many levels.[/quote]
Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking about.
And the comment from the Asian girl about her (a Sudanese) belonging to a 'Black' (meaning, AA) community? Sometimes, I think certain groups should spend less time studying calculus and more time looking at the world around them. Ugh.[/quote]

Yes. Very ignorant of the Asian-American girl to think that Didi represents all "Black AAs". I am sure Didi found it offensive.   Ask AA community and they will tell you that these recent immigrants who are Black have no understanding of the issues within the AA community but they are held up as models for what  AA Blacks should aspire to be.

Schools and colleges also want these "model Blacks" rather than an AA kid who comes from a broken home and from the projects.  [/quote]
