The whole costume thing was a minor part of the conversation (and went more or less as you described). It was a convenient chance to start a conversation. Students had legitimate complaints about documented casual racism on campus, and initially they received only dismissal. This is the source of all the anger.
- doe88 8y ago> documented casual racism on campus Please provide any link on this, i'm curious about these problems.
- krastanov 8y agoThis would be a good start (mostly self reported though, shows significant differences in the experience of some students) https://nursing.yale.edu/gpss-report-race-diversity-inclusion-yale https://nursing.yale.edu/gpss-report-race-diversity-inclusio... This story is rather ridiculous (and it would have been funny if it was an isolated incident, but a subset of the students face this more often than others): https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/grade-point/wp/2018/05/10/a-black-yale-student-fell-asleep-in-her-dorms-common-room-a-white-student-called-police/?utm_term=.7859dd2fed41 https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/grade-point/wp/2018/05/1... YDN from around that time would probably have testimonials.
