In many larger communities, public schools are black and private schools are white. These insulated white students are tone-deaf when it comes to racism, since it has been a predominant factor of their lives. They grew up in a de facto segregated world, so racial political correctness is not part of their vocabulary. Using words they hear on popular music by rappers and hip hop artists furthers the blindness to what we consider offensive terminology.

It has been so common and entrenched, major universities never noticed the Greek organizations were segregated?

It is not just the kids.
