Problematic race relations at Harvard make it difficult for a minority student to pursue a normal career here and maintain ties to his ethnic heritage. Several incidents at Harvard, and around the nation's campuses, displayed the simmering tensions that exist between the minorities and the majority on the nation's campuses.
