We believe that the percentage of black and Asian students who study abroad could be perceived as grossly misleading. First, study abroad is an individual decision, thus any reasons for the discrepancies on our part would merely be speculation. However, we find several of Associate Dean of Study Abroad Margaret Riley's comments in the Oct. 16 article "Study abroad statistics reveal gap in diversity" particularly concerning.
For the second consecutive semester, the "Monday, Monday" column has made a casually racist comment about Asians. Forget whether such stereotypes are "positive" or cognitively useful. In the grand scheme of things, they get us nowhere and only serve to perpetuate the racism deeply ingrained in U.S. society.
