Myradal’s "American Dilemma"
and the Cay ton-Drake ••Black Met

It is not that there are enough!
Negroes here to constitute a prob ■
lem. Only tw< or three of the 1.000 ;
Lusky Mexican civilians attend tiic ;
university. But since the majority
of people In there .--lands are non- •
Caucasian, (tie white attitude to- ;
ward people of other color;' is <>!
primary importance.
These young people wanted to ;
know whether Tcuinau*.- civil rights;
program would be passed, about !
the inequalities of education in the
south, about denial of the ballot.!
the influence of the Negro prey- j
and the attitude of organized labor.
They were as alert as other stu-:
dents then- age. and seemed gen
uinely glad to hear about \
problems directly from , Negro
rather than from a book.

RAC.TAL CHECKUPS TABOO
For instance, even the social sc;-
■ enco department is not permitted’
! o learn the ethnic compe -.tion «.f
the university. The administration
refuses, even in the interests of
science, to let anybody know just
how many Japanese, Chinese. Kor
eans. etc., are in attendance The
reason is that most of the students j
arc Japanese, and the powers that
be live in mortal fear of having the j
.school referred to as "Little Nip- |
pon.' Many whites already send !
their sons and daughters to the '
Mainland for education; this would
be the finishing touch.
This also highlights a peculiar!- !
ty of island thinking. IX, for in
stance. large numbers of Japanese
begin attending a specific Christian
church, the Chinese and Koreans
will leave and go elsewhere. This
clannishness has undoubtedly
hampered the struggle of all the
colored peoples here for complete
equlity. But the one good thing is
that, despite these tensions between i
colored groups, they tend to join j
together to present something of a h
united front against the attitude i:
of whites or “haoles."
In fact, haole is often & word of!;
contempt. The Portugese, who ' i
