"In life there is one inescapable fact; at some point you’ll have to pay your dues. My suggestion is front-end-load them. Work hard now, while you’re here. Study hard, develop the learning skills you’ll need to be successful, and prepare yourself for your career by never turning down an opportunity to gain more knowledge and better yourself. Doing this will make you the kind of person people will want to hire, allow you to rise faster in your career than others, ultimately allow you to give back and help others in greater ways, and give you a more enjoyable and satisfying life."

This is just one of the many examples of the prevalent racism on this campus, be it overt or not.
