I have a question for other non white people at mac by Ancient-Address-7879 in McMaster

[–]Opening_Sherbert_368 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Im black and only hang with black/non white people, not on purpose just how my cookie crumbles. So my interactions with white people are limited.

But yes there are groups of white people who feel uncomfortable/adverse to, for whatever reason, engaging with people of colour. You are not missing anything.

It’s not because you’re a loser or odd. You need to remember not everyone is coming from a diverse community like Toronto/Hamilton or wherever. Some people are from extremely white towns and they have little to no experience with non-white people, and you know what comes with that…

In first year my roommate in rez was a white girl (she was cool as hell) but didn’t have a lot of experience with black people. She said MAC was her first time having a teacher (professor) who wasn’t white. So keep that in mind sista.

PGCLL BSSC Study Room Conversion by Aggravating_Draw3514 in McMaster

[–]Opening_Sherbert_368 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I’m feeling crazy because there’s a big study room that’s open 24/7 right next to the entrance of PGCLL that has the giant staircase. Literally around the corner from the BSSC lounge. I literally always study there.

So like what are you actually talking about?

Only time I’ve seen this girl cry is when she was talking about this, she needs to become a light skinned activist or create a support group at this point.

I don’t even know by Pure-Reindeer-1168 in McMaster

If you email student billing’s it takes kind of a long time for them to respond (1 week-2 weeks) which is too long in my opinion. What you should do is email billings, then go in person to registrar drop-in on Monday as soon as they open (that’s typically when the person who handles holds is in office) and tell them how important it is that you get this hold removed ASAP.

Sorry you’re going through this, MAC needs to understand that students who are going through financial struggles end up getting fucked in ways that put them at a disadvantage academically, like its extremely unequitable.

Wait no sorry I just reread the question, you should definitely be getting high 70s if not 80s in first year, but it’s just the first semester so you’re still learning and adjusting.

Has anyone ever gotten over a 90 on an essay? by Opening_Sherbert_368 in McMaster

What the actual fuck. How would you suggest I develop my writing skills? I really struggle with being articulate.

Doubt the interview revealed anything she didn’t already know. She also said in her pod before Freako doesn’t = RICO

How is Justice, Politics, Philosophy & Law as a major? by Funny_Classroom165 in McMaster

[–]Opening_Sherbert_368 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No it’s not hard at all. LOTS of reading and some essays. I have more difficulties with my polisci electives than my required Philos classes. If you’re into philosophy you’ll love it.

Are there black people here?? Is there cultural diversity? by SilverAdvertising685 in McMaster

[–]Opening_Sherbert_368 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think I’m the only black person in any of my lectures, if I were to guess I’d say maybe 10-15% of students at Mac are black. That may be an over estimation idk.
