JORDAN HARDY: I think whether we like it or not, a lot of stereotypes are based on the truth.

JENNIFER ROCKWOOD: As our populations change on our campuses, and as these students come brand new up against different, completely different cultural rituals or cultural customs, they have to begin to see it and be enriched by it. Instead of maybe be afraid of it or prejudiced against it.

LOUIS GONZALEZ: I have a friend named-- he was Jake, and he, like, he didn't like-- for some reason he didn't like Mexicans, and, like, he would, like, every time he would mention a Mexican it was in a negative light, and I was like, why is that? And he's just like, he just was like, well, it's like, they're Mexican and they, like-- some people, like, associate Mexicans with all they do is work in a field. And, like, he once said, why don't they just, like, stay in the field, not, like, work? Or not come to, like, high school and do the work and stuff? And it's just like, I don't know if he was, like, joking, but that's not-- I don't find that funny.

JORDAN HARDY: My mom is white and my dad is black, and of course I've been exposed to both sort of, quote, unquote, "cultures," if you will. I don't think people really see me as-- well, actually, I have no idea what people think of me when they see me. If you don't know me, and you look at me, you'd be like, OK, that's a black kid. But when you talk to me and I don't reflect white culture and I don't reflect black culture, then you'll see me as more of, like, a person, and less of a race.

JENNIFER ROCKWOOD: Faculty sometimes are reluctant to talk about diversity in all of its forms-- sexual diversity, disabilities, cultural diversity. And that, I think the students aren't.
