i do not have a lot of time to discuss this, but i would like to vehemently reiterate that the majority of the undergraduate students of color on this campus ARE NOT ATHLETES.
taking data from the institutional research report, the number of students of color enrolled fall 2008 was 2,296 on the pullman campus, while white students accounted for 11,342 students. a staggering statistic.
roughly tallying the number of student-athletes, we have around 345 total. even if EVERY STUDENT ATHLETE was a student of color, it would be nowhere near the total number of students of color.
stereotypes exist because information is false and it is taken as fact. hurting not only the students targeted, but society as a whole.
