Sviggum, a former Republican speaker of the Minnesota House, told the meeting he’d received a “couple of letters” from friends whose children chose not to go to Morris because they considered it “too diverse …. they just didn't feel comfortable there."

With no idea at all thats how minorities feel...All the time....

I would imagine if pressed we would find out that those "couple of letters" didn't exist.

As an ethnic minority I can confidently say I am not bothered by other ethnic groups, be they majority or other minority groups

What's wild is that white folk still make up the majority of the student body. I'm guessing they also make up the majority of the faculty and staff. If a white person is uncomfortable even when they are in the freakin' majority, then hell yes they should understand how some minorities feel on predominately white campuses. But they won't. Minorities need to "suck it up and deal", donchaknow. White people are lucky enough to not have to do that.

Why do you think a sizeable portion of GOP voters have said they believe Great Replacement Theory..

Somehow they have mentally justified being simultaneously afraid that white people becoming a minority will lead to worse treatment while also being ok with the current treatment of minorities.
