From these stories the most surprising thing that stood out to me was the types of colleges and universities discussed. I was expecting these schools mentioned to be little, unheard of school. I did not expect to read those very degrading songs by the U.S. Naval Academy. Before when I would think of the military I would think of things such as respect and honor, nothing as disgusting as this. Personally, I have not seen anything to this extent at Purdue. I don’t think it would surprise me, however, to hear something like this here. With the amount of different cultures presented I could see how groups could gang up among one another. Being as recent as the issues were, this could easily still happen now. I have seen a few counts of racism, such as walking down the street and hearing some one yell out the car to an oriental person “fuck Vietnam.” It surprised me to hear something like that, when the conflict in Vietnam was so long ago. I might possibly not see as much stuff here because I grew up in this town. Almost everything I see is very natural so I might unintentionally block some things out. As I mentioned in class earlier about the KKK coming to my elementary school, I have seen some cases in this area before. Purdue does a good job of supporting diversity, and in my eyes has done good about keeping conflicts to a minimum.
