re: UC Berkeley students demand building be named after convicted cop killer

I really hate stereotypes. When people have legitimate complaints, regardless if not everyone agrees w/ them, it doesn't make it whining. To say anytime someone brings up something offensive/unjust that happens is just "them" whining is simply not true. You can find any type of group where whining, bigotry, etc. goes on, but could we please stop painting everyone with the same brush?

Also, the groups you listed don't have the same history as blacks do in this country. That's just a simple fact. They have faced bigotry [who hasn't], yet they were able to make strides {as a group] much quicker than blacks. I have gone to professional conferences [heck even at my own school] and have people blatantly walk up to me and assume I'm the janitor. When I hear people say, "I don't see skin color", I just laugh. Maybe they mean they see it but it doesn't effect their opinions, and I can agree w/ that. But people of all groups have small, medium or large percentages who do dwell of race, religion, etc to make judgments.

BTW, I've taught a good many Asian American students and a majority of white students. A sample of those kids do just as much bitching and have entitlement issues, but I'd never say it's all whites, or others.
