    Therefore, one factor that might be important to consider when examining the relationship between delinquency and disproportionality is personal experiences of racial discrimination (Martin et al., 2011).

    having quotas can diversify the class discussions, and help other students gain a different perspective on things. Terry Swenson says, “race doesn't correlate with a particular viewpoint and, therefore, we look beyond skin color alone to a student's background (parental occupation, parental educational background, neighborhood) as we try to assess what different perspective he/she may bring to our campus.” Your race doesn’t necessarily change your views on issues, but your experiences, education, and
