So I'm doing a survey for the University of Ottawa, and all of a sudden they ask the following question

"Had serious conversations with students of a different race or ethnicity than your own"
(Options, Very Often, Often, Sometimes, Never)

Is it just me or is this offensive and why should it matter?

They want to know how racist you are?

apparently, there are a lot of other fucked up questions, like did univesity teach me to be able to talk to these people, or did my university experience help me to develop a deeper sense of spirituality

Ah, I see.

Lacking achedemic success stories, they're looking for for touchy feely success stories.
