I attend a majority white university (University of North Florida) and when I first arrived to live on campus as a freshman, I had a sort of culture shock because 8 out of 10 people on campus here are suburban whites coming from a life very different from mine. I’m used to it now, but many so-called minorities aren’t affected by this if they live in communities where there are many people who look like them. In this case, you don’t even think about the fact that you are of a certain ethnicity and you are only reminded when you are in a multicultural setting.
