Topics on diversity and stereotypes

Although he supreme court now supports affirmative action in colleges, according to Robert Sherman, the author of "10 Questions College Officials Should Ask About Diversity", there are issues in trying to sustain this new found diversity.

According to Robert Sherman in "10 questions College Officials Should ask", focusing on race to solve the lack of diversity problems "may be feedingthe stereotypes"

In "Coming Into the Country" Gish Jen says, "the monent we feel certain rights to be inalienable... we become American". In other words it's saying that it doesnt matter what rituals or stereotypes your culture has, as long as you feel you are free and no one can tae that freedom, you are American.
