    Hey /r9k/ I need your help. I have to write an essay on what I bring to a college in terms of diversity and all that bullshit.

    Heres the prompt:The quality of Rice's academic life and the Residential College System is heavily influenced by the unique life experiences and cultural traditions each student brings. What perspective do you feel that you will contribute to life at Rice?

    I really dont care what I write it on, even if I have to make it up.

    If you're a white guy, claim to be a "black, transgendered, disabled lesbian" trapped in a white guy's body. If anyone says anything, play every discrimination card you can.

    on diversity tell them its bullshit. Its not always a good thing. Historically nations with little difference in race have always done very well. Sad truth but true.

    On diversity talk about intellectual diversity as compared with surficial diversity (skin colours, gender, etc).

    Man, people always say this. Are you not familiar with the fact that European kings often invited minorities to move to their countries, purely for the economic benefits? That they didn't, to take one example, really love Jews, but they wanted the good things they brought? And that this has continued all the way to the present day, which is why (surprise!) every Western country has a sizable immigrant contingent? Including, most of all, the UNITED STATES? Saying 'oh that didn't happen, nope' is just a lie and weak-ass ducking of the truth.

    You're a Rice student, so dumbass hillbilly reasoning will not cut it at your school (but then, you knew that). Obviously this is asking for a personal essay; so, write one. This is like the worst essay question ever to outsource, since the one thing we can't help you with is your personal history. If you can't answer such a weak gimme essay, you might as well drop out and transfer to HCC now, since there's no chance you'll make it through 4 years of increasingly difficult material.

    they also segregated them, stopped them from owning land and running businesses and only allowed them in the country because Jews weren't prevented from loaning money.

    Blah blah excuses. Either you invite them into your country, or they don't. Over time, the 'separate but equal' approach wasn't tenable, not anywhere, so those countries faced a choice; they could either expel them (as Spain did) or keep them, and keep the benefits too. It's clear which side won that economic case, in the long run.

    P.S. Jews were instrumental in making the scientific discoveries that led to the creation of the atom bomb and the USA's military hegemony, just one immigrant community example of many. Again, that's why ALL Western countries ultimately shifted to allowing immigrant labor; something so universal is not a coincidence. Better for the economy, better for the nation's economic self-interest.

    Amazing. You actually seem to believe that there are magical foreigner talent scouts.

    People immigrate because they hear of opportunities.

    France ended up by accepting them and giving them full citizenship. But later there was the dreyfus affair.

    Don't make it up.
    Where have you traveled, what have you seen. What are your interests and why are they interesting and what knowledge do you have about them. What is your view on certain political situations. Where do you come from etc...

    Questions like that are complete bullshit. Much in the same way as job interview questions.

    Not to mention that your average college-aged person hasn't done much of anything worth telling. Oh hey, you went to school, you may have traveled a bit on vacation. Woo.

    Like you said they did it for money not the diversity. France may have lost land in africa because of the dreyfus affair. Think of the united states if we didn't have to deal with the civil war, the civil rights movement, race riots, affirmative action. Diversity doesn't help. People are not accepting of different things.

    My roommate goes to Rice. Everyone I've ever met who goes to Rice is a stuck up, pretentious twat.

    Rice's unique cultural mix? Rich white kids with a side of rich white kids and a couple of rich asians thrown in, just to spice it up.

    If we talk about the times from 1400-1800 (rough guesstimate) yes there where. As said kings did invite minorities into their country to gain benefits.
    (I got nothing handy to back um my claim but neither do you. It's just a faint memory from history lessons)
