Idk what to tell you because there are plenty of black people around campus on game days. I don't know why you wouldn't have seen them. Our school is 16% black, which is second highest in the SEC.

Goddamn I get sick of this bullshite.


I'll look harder in 2013? But probably not. Sorry for the offense, I guess, but it just seemed odd to me. The over-the-top response to Roger Klavin's smartass post (from an Auburn guy) served as a reminder of how odd it seemed. I would have guessed the ratio was higher than 16%.

It would in the least be no different than any other SEC school's gameday, and if you think otherwise you have never been to any of the other school's gameday.


But for some reason Ole Miss has to be called out on it.

Why would you have guessed this?

Ole Miss isn't a huge university, the state has several universities including several HBC&U.

The state also isn't the best in terms of public school students attending college.

Mississippi has a economical segregation going on in their high school system between public and private schools.

"Hey Aggy fans, I know you guys have a lot of Latinos in Texas and I went to the game in College Station and the only Mexicans I saw was the grounds crew and running the taco trucks around town, why weren't any in the stadium, what's the deal?"


"Aggy" set aside for a moment... the commandant of the Corps is a classmate of mine and Latino. I have no idea what the enrollment of Latinos at A&M is, but whatever the number if they aren't showing up for football games I'd wonder why. Mississippians are understandably overly sensitive about racial issues and after living here 30 years I get that. It just surprised me to see zero black fans at an Ole Miss game.
