Herding Patterns Abroad

Posted by The Philosopher 04/29/2008 08:24 AM

So, sometimes when we're at Tufts, we feel like we randomly take strolls through the mini-campuses of the Seoul National Unversity, Universidad Complutense de Madrid...you get the idea. Submitted by a Tufts junior currently abroad in the UK, it looks like ethnicities of a feather flock together...wherever.

Thanks for the tip.

I love how people are so quick to point out that a lot of the minorities stick to their own ethnic groups when Whites do the exact same thing, if not to a greater degree. Posted 04/29/2008 09:33 AMReply

Totally guilty as charged, especially as an American in a Scottish university. Posted 04/29/2008 09:49 AMReply

AGREED. I think people, especially when they're in an unknown or foreign environment, just naturally flock to whoever has a common ground with them. Obviously, race is one of those things. Posted 04/29/2008 7:50 PMReply

it's because asians have no idea how to hold up a conversation so they silently travel in packs. Posted 04/29/2008 9:11 PMReply

It's because you believe that asians can't hold up a conversation, so when you actually have one with an asian, you behave in a way that fulfills your belief, thus creating the self-fulfilling prophecy. Don't blame everything on the Asians. Don't give yourself too much credit; blame yourself too, close-minded (White?) person.

It's been proven in multiple sociological experiments-- people tend to bond based on superficial things such as race when tossed into an unfamiliar environment, like, say, college. It's part of the myth of diversity at Tufts. People don't step outside of their most basic comfort zones. Posted 04/30/2008 08:41 AMReply
