The mania over racial grouping of students is getting some pushback at Duke. In this piece published in the Duke Chronicle, three students argue against continuing separate recruitment weekends for black and Hispanic students.

The students write, “People often talk about ethnic divisions in campus life, poiting to the fact that some minorities tend to affiliate more closely with members of their own minority groups. One must wonder, however, whether this might not be influenced by the heavy emphasis placed on race-based identification when students are first introduced and acclimated to campus.”

It’s time for American universities to get over the obsession with pigeon-holing people based on those characteristics for which the Left has a fixation — race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation and so forth — and treat each person as an individual. Good to see some students coming to that realization.
