I liked the activity because it got us thinking about issues we might not have thought about before. It also forced us to choose a side. There were many times when some of us couldn't choose a side, but you weren't allowed to stay in the middle. This forced us to really think about what the statement was and choose the side that best reflected our opinions. However, this is also something I disliked about the activity. There were times when I couldn't choose a side, but had ideas to back up each side. I wanted to justify why I wanted to stay in the middle, but that wasn't an option.
While I have never noticed anything shocking about Mizzou's diversity, some of my classmates brought certain things to my attention. I wasn't aware that African Americans have separate Homecoming activities. I definitely think this is an issue Mizzou needs to work on because Homecoming should be a huge event for the whole university to come and celebrate together. The Homecoming events I took part in were a lot of fun and I would want everyone to be able to be involved in them.
This is a topic that is least talked about with diversity. As a student, I was unaware of this occurring and I'm sure a lot of other students would agree. So many are unaware that the lack of diversity occurs, including at Mizzou. Since people are unaware, it can't be changed.
