@FatAlSharpton @Therightrevolu1 @presjimryan @UVA@cavalierdaily One doesn't have to preclude the other. There should be enough time to do both - spending time with familiar people, even on occasion, could lend itself to socioemotional wellbeing, deepening the whole experience.
@FatAlSharpton @presjimryan @UVA@cavalierdaily Imagine being a part of a minority group, say you were studying abroad and out of 17K people in your group, only 1100 were Americans, wouldn’t you want to seek out the other Americans – the ones who have a shared background and experiences, and a group to relate to?
@FatAlSharpton @presjimryan @UVA@cavalierdaily In 2018, 7 out of 100 students are Black and 6 out of 100 students are Latinx. Why does the LatinX community have a dedicated student center and not the Black students?
@because93 @presjimryan @UVA@cavalierdaily Would it soften your heart to know that out of 17K undergrad students at UVA, only 1,131 were Black in 2019? That MSC only has 49 seats. @amandaseales
@presjimryan @UVA@cavalierdaily You've already ostracized and demonized that student for thinking that she had a safe space at UVA only to realize that you gentrified it. @amandaseales
@presjimryan @cavalierdaily Why is it ok that the Latinx Student Center doesn't have to say that it is for all students? Where is the sanctuary for AAs? @amandaseales
@yaf Why is there a dedicated LATINX student center and not a dedicated Black Student center, especially when there have been more Black students enrolled than LATINX students and their SC is not open to all. @amandaseales @presjimryan
