I'm in a pretty homogeneously White university right now.  

And everybody seems to know me. And everybody approaches me. "Oh heyyy, YOU'RE the girl in my ____ class!" And I'm just like " "

Ahhhhhh!  

It's just a consequence of being an ethnic minority that's never occurred to me before.

HA SUCK IT!

On a more serious note, what are you talking about? I don't know this.

Maybe it could be a good thing?

Person A could be like: "Hey this girl in my class is the coolest. She ....!" and Person B could be like: "I don't know her, but she sounds cool." A: "She's the one that looks like ...."  B: "Oooohhh her." (thinks 'wow she's really like me; or we'd get along great, etc') and looks you up at some point and TADA BEST FRIENDS FOREVER.

....or you could screw up majorly and never live it down. I'm hoping for the first situation.

Don't worry - Whites tend to love minorities when they are just that:Minorities.

When too many of them exist around them, then they tend to get uneasy.

I'm perfectly comfortable and indifferent to both minority-loving and minority-hating, thanks. Two sides of the same coin.
