I say this: "White people go to college and graduate in higher numbers than black people, as you can see in this graph".
My student's response? "Well obviously, there are more white people than black people in the US so of course more white people go to college. You are WRONG about that institutional racism thing."*
My students think I am dumb, you guys.
