The class is a diverse group of Caucasian, African American, Jewish, and Hispanic people who are all trying to discover what they want and where they fit in at a university that has already categorized them and placed them in boxes based on social background. They must endure in a society full of prejudice, racism, and appropriation of rape cultural while trying to find a sense of belonging. Most of the Caucasians are blinded by the reality of black people because of their Disney World, â€Å"we are all one†, lives. Other Caucasians see black people as threats and even band together to form a white supremacy group who target students who are not Caucasian. The African Americans have to deal with prejudice and racist authorities and students in a university and world that doesn’t care to protect them.
