Blog 35: Article

This evening, I read a very interesting article concerning diversity and discrimination here at Ohio State. The article was discussing how there are so many organizations and offices for minorities on campus here at Ohio State. The girl exclaimed that she didn't refute any of the many organizations and offices but she felt as though, its not fair to have all of these resources for certain groups of people, except for the majority of Caucasians here on campus. She exclaimed that Ohio State does a great job when it comes to diversity, including music, organizations, offices, and even certain living communities. However, she felt as though while the university is diverse, its discriminating as well when it doesn't offer an organization, an office, or a living community for Caucasians. She also realizes that having these certain organizations may cause an uproar of negative opinions and feelings of uneasiness for certain individuals.   
I would have to somewhat agree with her argument. I can see where one would feel as though that this discrimination. However, I feel that reason Ohio State or any other university doesn't have specific organizations and offices for the "majority" is maybe because the history behind many races and minorities. When you look back in a history timeline, one will discover that through out history Jews, Asians, African-Americans and many other races as well have always had the shorter end of the stick. They always in my eyes had it the worse compared to other races. So I feel as though that is the reason why many universities including Ohio State does this. 
In addition, however, like most of the organizations that are directed to specific minorities here at OSU, were generated by students themselves. So I feel as though, that if she really feel as though she is being discriminated against she could most definitely make an organization specifically directed towards the "majority", and as she stated, like the other organizations anybody would be able to join and participate if they feel need be. 
I really enjoyed this article, because I never heard someone apart of the "majority" speak out about something like this, and I find it great because I never would have thought, that someone would this way, so it for sure opened my eyes.
In conclusion, like was stated in the article, diversity is everybody no matter who you are, we're all unique and different, and sometimes share common interest.
And so it is.
