it's more than just ignorance

Before break I decided to stop at the Hub to get a tea when I overheard a white male student say, “can’t wait to get out of this place- so many ungrateful ethnic people”. This comment may seem, for some of you, more obvious than other more “conventional” micro-agressions, but many people actually do not understand the struggles that marginalized students of color face. 

All  the time, students of color are unfortunately and unfairly labeled as ungrateful and whiney. The comment this student made undermines the struggle that minorities on this campus face on a daily basis and perpetuates an unfair label.
