Here are five basic rules for
the minority, on how to survive on college campuses across the
"majority"-stricken United States. Practice these rules
in everyday activities, and life will be a lot easier on both
you and your "majority" colleagues. Remember the American
college system is an institution where majority perceptions of
the color of your skin and your social actions will dominate
your experiences.
RULE #1
Always walk with your head looking straight forward or in the
downward position. Walk calmly to avoid any racial gawking. Example
of racial gawking: The "majority" on college campuses
will turn heads to stare at a man of color as if he is a creature
that doesn't belong in this privileged society. White folks believe
this creature belongs on the streets, robbing his own kind, suffering
in his poverty.
RULE #2
Don't clutter around in minority cliques. This often causes uneasiness
among Caucasian passers-by. Example of this uneasiness: At social
bars, it is often unpleasant to the White eye to see a table
of twelve filled with minorities. Whites then feel inferior,
when they need to feel superior. This, in turn, can lead to racial
brawling.
RULE #3
Because you are a person of color, you must watch and date only
people of the same color. White men and women on college campuses
throughout the U.S. show signs of extreme jealousy, when they
see their kind going out with someone darker. Example of this
extreme jealousy: Men of color dating white are likely to be
seen as aggressive sex machines and/or may be accused of rape.
RULE #4
Never join a fraternity/sorority, or have any affiliation with
the Greek system on your campus. This system was invented by
the "majority," and only for the "majority."
If accepted into a Greek house, you will be looked upon as the
"token" minority by your white "brothers"
or "sisters," and as a sell-out by your minority community.
Example of the Greek system as Majority Only: Even minorities
who establish their own houses --Black, Asian, etc.-- will be
seen as poor imitations of the White way of having fun.
RULE #5
In a crisis or classroom on campus, never question any form of
authority: police, professors, administration, or campus press.
These forms of authority always know what's correct and incorrect.
You have no privilege, no legitimacy, and no voice. (Example
of an inappropriate question: "Why are there no authors
of color required for reading in this class?")
