Immigrant woman shocked by suffering on US campuses

GAINESVILLE, FL – Reading reports from a conference on white privilege held at the University of Florida, local immigrant Diana Yahaira Vasquez Alban, couldn't help but empathize with the pain and suffering of minority students and academic staff in American colleges,
which appeared to be much worse than the poverty and crime she had experienced in her native South America. "I had no idea that such discrimination existed in this country, and I feel bad for these poor people," said the 26-year-old Green Card holder from Peru, who was moved to tears by the coverage of the event in the UF's online student newspaper, Independent Florida Alligator. "There was a video of one lady, and she had such a hard life that she was crying and yelling at everyone," recalled Alban, referring to a video clip of UF Levin College of Law 3L Alejandra Garcia, local activist and granddaughter of Cuban refugees. "She screamed a lot of things, like people thought she was a Mexican, that boys stare at her butt, that she should be able to use any bathroom she wants, and that her professors don't... I didn't understand about the professors." A review of the video clarified that professors at the law school failed to nurture the goddess within Garcia. -- Peoples Cube

I just feel bad about the devaluation of college diploma's that has been going on. I mean who is going to hire these people. You would want to get security as soon as they opened their mouths at the interview. Better have a body cam to fight the lawsuit.
