Jono is a member of an ethnic minority that has been and continues to be oppressed. He has every right to claim feelings of Anti-Semitism from society. It is not the intention for the MSA program to exclude or offend anyone because of their ethnicity, and I apologize to anyone who has felt excluded. This program is still developing and I am learning a lot about what to do during the process. Ideally, that is if people will work with me, it is my job to listen to anyone who feels pain because of their identity and do something about it, and I am saddened if the misconception of exclusivity has stopped some who may feel that way from coming forward. Several posts have suggested the MSA program is a club that only serves African Americans, Latinos, and Native Americans. The only way that certain racial minorities are given any extra attention at all is those who are historically underrepresented and therefore need attention with regards to recruitment and retention. Issues of anti-racism and multiculturalism are issues for the broader school. I welcome all students who feel oppressed because of their race/ethnicity. I welcome those who simply recognize and care about others feelings to come to USEA the school wide club for taking about racial/ethnic issues. In regard to the idea of needing evidence of intolerance, many students may not feel comfortable coming forward because their grievances may be belittled by things such as this article or by the fear of drawing even more negative attention to themselves. These are sensitive issues that put students voicing these concerns in vulnerable positions. Also, we must remember that we do not live in the period when racist acts were rampant and blatant. We need to stop looking for lynching or other forms of racist violence and look at how harmful subtle racism/racist acts can be. Because of their subtlety they can only be seen by those that they hurt, and it is our responsibility as racially conscious citizens to respect what others feel and do something about it.
