Being a white student on the campus of UNCP is considered to be a minority. Some white students take that to offense while someone like myself doesn’t see it as a big change. I say this because I don’t believe it really matters who is the minority or the majority. We are all on this campus for the exact same thing, to get some form of higher education. If it wasn’t for one of my colleagues to actually tell me that white students are the minority, I would have never thought about how these little details can actually effect some students. The fact that I am considered a minority around campus doesn’t affect my lifestyle because even with this new knowledge I will still go on with my daily activities. It doesn’t upset me and it definitely doesn’t affect my relationships with other races. So for everyone out there reading this, please give some feedback. I would like to see how other react to the fact that white students are the minority.Whether you are a white student, black student, asian student, hispanic student, or any other race, you have an opinion on the matter. It just takes someone to actually spark up the conversation and let opinions and ideas flow.
