Letter to the Editor
Racism reports don't show the more serious incidents

I am writing in response to John Williamson's letter about racism at Penn State. The daily reports about racism are not "utterly ridiculous." Obviously, you have not read the book of testimonies given by minority students concerning racism at Penn State. The next time you get the urge to call someone's racial experience ridiculous, you should try reading the book of racial incidents located in the Paul Robeson Center in the HUB.

The Daily Collegian was given this book of racial incidents containing hundreds of student testimonies, and having read that book of testimonies, I think the Collegian does not print the more severe cases so everyone will think minority students are just overreacting about racism at Penn State.
