White boi here. Lookin' to make my way to the CU Boulder graduate physics program for fall of 2015. I already know a few people in town thanks to my job (we have a branch there), and they are, of course, all white. I have some family in the area too. They're white. Hadn't really given much thought to Boulder's racial blandness, but now I'm feeling guilty at the prospect of contributing. I'm currently living in a fairly diverse area (Hispanic majority), but most of my friends are Caucasian... a product of mutual interests? I don't actively discriminate, to the best of my knowledge, but America's identity as a cultural "melting pot" is an ongoing process, far from complete. Anyway, I'll look you up if I land at CU, and I'll make sure to stay out of your namaste space. Hahah! P.S. you say that DU is too expensive (tuition, I guess), but from what I understand, the cost of living in Boulder isn't exactly pennies.
