[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Duke. So insanely pompous, and the kids there wear their pretense on their sleeves. Also extremely "white". Racism and micro-aggressions are fairly standard, and the Greek life only magnifies those issues.[/quote]

When did you graduate?  I am class of ‘07 and the culture was super weird.  The campus was actually 40% POC but it seemed like everything revolves around the rich white kids who were in frats.  It’s a very self segregated campus.  White people did not want to befriend POC.  Just kind of a nasty place all around for me as a POC.[/quote]

Class of '02. My cousin who graduated much more recently, in '16, reported the same exact experiences. It is a weird culture indeed. There were other POCs who I would befriend at Duke who would very clearly think of themselves as superior to me because they were more "in" with the white crowd, and were not ashamed to communicate that. I got a decent education, but wonder what my experience would have been at a slightly more welcoming or genuinely inclusive campus.[/quote]
