Besides being very hot and humid in the football stadium I am not exaggerating when I tell you that fully 90% of the grads were middle eastern, oriental and African names that were absolutely impossible to pronounce or understand. The white students were very few and far in between. It was shocking and I heard others around me voicing the same disbelief...WTF is going on in this Country...?
Oh, and the tiny Palestinian flags they waved crossing the stage were a bonus....

Go to any place in the diploma granting section and be amazed...

Maybe you unknowingly went to the "other" graduation ceremony.

Rice has always been very diverse. I am going to TCU’s next weekend. I don’t expect to see any Palestinian flags.

Small private school has a lot of foreigners? You don't say.

Lots of upper-class Asians, Indians, and Nigerians in the Houston area. Their kids usually do well academically and end up going to Rice. Not surprising tbh.

This is why I forbade my son from attending Rice and forced him to learn a trade

Shocked me...I could see 50/50 ...maybe 60/40, in your scenario, but 90/10...Wild.

David Leebron previous pres. was a commie cuck

Everybody I know from Rice hated him and hates what he's done to the University

Not many Americans can't afford tuition at Rice and it's a nerd school so yeah, adds up

The Palestinian flags were all what you expected: middle easterners + white women.

Chinese didn’t rep anything, neither did white males (at least in the 3 minutes I watched). Hispanics seemed to come to the Asian and white male side while AA had some black pride.

You didn't see the signs leading up to this? Should have directed your student to GTFO of there long ago.

Doesn't sound diverse at all.

“Diverse” is simply code for “non white”
