There's definitely a lot of institutional racism in academia. Outright favoritism for people of color for no other reason than their skin color. In Admissions programs, hiring practices, scholarships as well as many instances during normal campus life. Campuses go out of their way to not be racist to the point where they are racist. Absolutely ridiculous. And it really hurts the self-esteem of people to be given special treatment b/c of their color.
