Somebody once said that a gentleman should always say what he means and mean what he says.
The first thing:
It is or is not a fact that a person is a part of a minority group. How that person is treated as a result of that is another matter.
The other thing:
To say that because people discourage you, abuse you, ignore you (by turns), and because of that you are more encouraged than before to socialize with other students is like saying that now that you are blind you can see better than you could before.
There is a reason that I have said to people several times that they should make shorter, simpler sentences. It is for the sake of clarity.
(I thought you engineer types didn't like being around people anyway. The stereotype is that you love your jobs but you can't stand people. ;-))
(Why am I posting the same thing in two different places? First, because I can. Second, I am making some important points, and I want people to pay attention to what I am saying. (Don't worry. I'm finished. Two is enough.))
