[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I went there the school runs a bit white christian. I am Jewish and many of the kids there never met anyone who was Jewish (many were from small towns in Indiana). This was many years ago though. Because of all the kids coming in from the East coast, I'm sure the Jewish population has grown a bit and hopefully cultural advances have been made since I was last there. I lived in one of the smaller hippy dorms (Collins) and there was a good mix of POC, artists, free spirits, etc. But most of the school is not like that.[/quote]

It still is this way. My kid went to a very diverse high school and IU is white, white, white. The business school tends to have more diversity than the other colleges. [/quote]

There is nothing wrong with white, white, white, so long as there are no remnants of those who allowed slavery, racism, or segregation, which you will find very little in Indiana as another PP alluded to, and you will find some traits of those in all Southern towns, such as Charlottesville. Let's not forget where the phrase "sold down the river" came from, it is from Charlottesville where they sold the slaves down the James river to southern plantations, where the life expectancy were less than 5 years because of the hard toil in the southern plantations. Indiana doesn't have that history. [/quote]

Indiana has a very looooong history with racism and the KKK. The county next to Monroe county has an open and active KKK. There are white supremacists at the farmer's market in Bloomington and if a protestor against the white supremacists dared to show a sign, the were arrested. [/quote]
