a step closer means becoming stronger

I feel as though there is so much stereotyping and grouping of people that goes on all around us and we do not even know it. It even occurs here on the grounds of Hofstra. This school seems to be very segregated in terms of the different races, especially between blacks and whites. I understand that the percentage of caucasian people and minorities are quite substantial, but there should be more attemps to integrate the students of Hofstra through more events that invite a variety of cultures and not just one particular group of people. A school should be a place of understanding of other cultures and customs, so how can this be achieved when people are not conversating with others that may diversify from our specific cultures and customs. I do not think that this is a problem, however, I do feel that people should try to become more comfortable with others around the school grounds, because it would be a step to becoming a closer more united school body.
