Trump's election has made the uber-jerk racists much more willing to go out and be openly racist in public and not just near their friends or frat bros.



The most racist people I know are not white.



See Asians, particularly Koreans.

There are certainly a lot of racist incidents in the US. That's not surprising in a country of 325 million people. Social media makes it possible for every incident to go viral. But the reality is that you are probably a 100 times more likely to get hit by lightning than shot by a police officer. I'm not excusing police brutality, but I am saying that just because you see a lot of racist incidents in your Facebook feed doesn't meant that everyone is constantly being racist to you, personally. There are thousands of car accidents every year. That doesn't mean that most cars are faulty.

This all would be much to do about nothing.

You can pay $200,000 for a Honda Civic, but why would you?


I had a partial scholarship. But I'm sure you still think I suck.

Goofy.


Because gorillas eat bananas?

I bet people eat bananas more than gorillas do. Besides, what's wrong with gorillas?

It seems like there is a major racism-fueled incident at AU every month. Which got me thinking: why are there so many racist incidents at AU? Is it because AU is a safety school for wealthy kids who are looking for a four year vacation in Spring Valley as opposed to an education? Is it because AU's students are looking for a commuter school experience in the big city?

Is it the school's historic United Methodist background? I don't get it. AU seemed like a nice school, but now it seems like it's full of racist assholes.

It's like the Baylor of DC.


I graduated form AU in the 90's. Thanks for letting me know you think my education sucks.

I definitely don't remember incidents like this when I was there.



It took you this long to find out that the school sucks? Wonk on.


I still think my education was solid. Got me where I wanted to go. I'm quite happy and successful, though probably not by your standards.

That's because DC and MD is still the South. Mon dieu!

Well, I'm white and the most racist people I know are white, and a few are Asian.

Because I am white and from the south, people assume I am as racist as they are. My Facebook feed looked like a KKK rally after the election, thanks to my private high school friends. The more expensive the university, the more people who have been insulated from others can continue to be insulated. Not all private universities are this way, but a notable part of the student body can be.
