Don't forget that racism in higher education doesn't only affect Black people, but all "minorities". For example, some schools have an unwritten cap on how many Asians will be allowed into institutions, essentially claiming that if all students who merited entrance were allowed to go, such institutions might be populated mostly by Asians. It would be great if students of any race who met or exceeded the standards set by institutions of higher learning would not only be welcomed there, but encouraged or even invited to apply and to attend upon acceptance. Furthermore, it bothers me that a lot of the racism in America is still seen as mostly a "white vs. black" issue, but in reality a great deal of racism exists between non-Euro ethnicities as well. Classism might be seen as separate from racism, but the two are firm friends and influence society much more than people are willing to admit. "Soft" racism is everywhere, in every class of people and from what I can see, as prevalent as ever.
