I was born and raised in Fredonia and SUNY Fredonia is the only college I have really ever been to. I guess you can say I have not been exposed to much racial diversity. Going to Fredonia High school their was only one biracial kid that went to my school. So coming to the college campus I thought I was really being exposed to a diverse group. In my circumstance (and in Erin's), I believe we are "more exposed" to racial diversity on this campus because we are always in the CMA office so we get to interact with individuals of multiple races and ethnicities. However, I don't think that other people on this campus are as exposed to as much of this diversity as we are. The more and more I learn in this class, the more my eyes are open to the community around me. Yes, we have a diverse and open community on this campus, but sometimes I feel like only certain groups of people hangout with other certain groups of people. I wish I saw more straight people wanting to get involved in Pride. Or men wanting to get involved in WSU. Or white people wanting to get involved in Black Student Union. Maybe I am just being pessimistic. I would like to know what other people think.
