At times, students criticize Christian fellowships for racial homogeneity. These critics overlook the fact that fostering a Christian community inherently prioritizes spiritual growth above all else. Spiritual growth is both a congregational and personal experience, so individuals must decide which fellowship group best fits them according to their own standards, not society’s standards. A Christian fellowship is not a representative body. No one votes for its members or expects it to represent the entire Christian population at the University. Every individual connects to God’s Word in different ways, so it is counterproductive for any fellowship to fret over racial diversity.

At first glance, the upcoming shows for the University’s main theatrical CIOs, such as Spectrum’s “Pride and Prejudice,” Shakespeare on the Lawn’s “The Importance of Being Earnest” and First Year Players’ “Little Shop of Horrors,” seem like exciting choices. In fact, these shows do include compelling acting opportunities — if you’re white. These organizations have offered few roles for actors who represent racial minorities and have resorted to whitewashing the few minority roles they have. These detrimental practices result in a troublesome underrepresentation of non-white cultures in the performing arts and a stifling of cultural awareness and appreciation.

Recently, Viewpoint writer Tsering Say wrote a column titled “Close Balz Dobie” in which she claims, among other things, that the University “cloister[s] their scholars into a single, homogenous dorm.” Since the article does not qualify its claim against Balz-Dobie by saying “mostly” or “somewhat” homogenous, it misrepresents Balz-Dobie as an elitist and sequestered community lacking diversity. In general, the article’s perception of honor students lacks an objective viewpoint. It draws its conclusion from subjective assumptions about the University’s honors community.
