From my time at Connecttcut College I can recall several campus incidents that were naively and simplistically explained in tenns Je n of therr racIal and .ethmc overtones. I can also remember many personal run-ins with people who have wrongly thought thatmy actIOns were m some way motivated by anti-minority or anti- TDG (Traditionally Disadvantaged Group) fechngs .. On a whole, these incidents have negatively affecled my opinion of Connecticut College and Its push for multt-cultural education. . My personal cultural heritage is mixed. Though I was adopled and raised in a Greek-American family. I have recently discovered thatmy bloodline is Mexican. At the same time. I know tltatl am usually described by people as caucasIan.

In addition, the ethnicities and cultures that a person can reasonably Identtfy With are in a way lim'tedI an d th ere,ore ' somewhat superficl3l... m descnbmg. a person. . For these reasons I'd resist any p~sh to';ard making multi-cultural studies a core part of the curriculum. What IS tlte pomt of emphaslZmg the disungmshmg of people based on their cultural heritage when it is largely SUperfiCial cnlena wllb ,:hlch they ~y or may not identify? It is my belief (and many others') that people are truly tefined by Ibe pnnclples to which they aspire. not by their cultural origins. Any push toward pigeon-holing peop e on cultural grounds IS Ill-founded and divisive, not to mention easily transparent . Ildunlbd~ethtand!hatlbewhole point of mulli-cultural education is to increase sensitivity toward those people who h .fo err mc backgrounds dear to them.
