...insensitivity lies in his phrasing of information in lecture and the implications of that phrasing. It also lies in the information he chooses to explore or omit and what I, a Black student, am left to interpret.

As Otello, Tenor Placido Domingo is in robust voice, and Bass Justino...
...sure that Mr. Joseph did not purposefully mean to omit Asian-Americans in his survey of the minority applicant pool, but this is an oversight that is often too easily made by others as well. It should have been made clear that, for one reason or another, the article concerned itself with non-Asian minorities only. But, then the question is, why would this distinction be made? Amy M.
