23. My Afro-Latin friend has to pay 4 times the normal tuition for his college
in Seattle because he had the audacity to be born in California. Meanwhile a non-citizen can get instate tutition after not even being born in this country?

Generally I think the very idea of "In state vs. out of state tuition" is incredibly dated and at odds with the reality of modern America, that said I have no idea how exactly a non-citizen gets better treatment in California then a Californian who lives in Seattle.

I think my friend's case illustrates that at least to me this is not a race issue, I could hardly care less about race.
