Reply to comment by Ineludible_Ruin in Claudine Gay: Harvard University picks first black president by citytiger

I totally agree with you. There is a need for us to place people in baskets so we can apply our stereotypes.

One another note, she's actually the first Harvard President in 386 years that wasn't of a particular race and only the second of a particular gender, which is a sad reflection of the school and not at all a reflection of the student body. So I guess just embrace the progress?
