“Sometimes we feel like we’re not wanted on campus,” Kashawn said, surrounded at a dinner table by several of his dorm mates, all of them nodding in agreement. “It’s usually subtle things, glances or not being invited to study groups. Little, constant aggressions.”

Somehow I had the impression that Berkeley was overrun with white liberals who worship at the altar of diversity and inclusion. This comment leads one to believe it is full of redneck racists.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

So?...Suck it up! Cope! Find strategies. Be assertive.

I was a woman majoring in the hard sciences and was **often** the only woman in the class. There were rarely more than 3 woman in a auditorium class of more than 100. I later entered a male dominated profession. In a school of 600 professional students there were 12 ( Yes, TWELVE) women students!

Berkeley is so left-wing that it encouraged blacks to live in a blacks-only dorm in the name of identity politics, and then Kashawn and his dorm-mates wonder why they feel isolated!

Hello?
