So says Anxious Black Woman, in this post entitled “Advocacy on Behalf of Students of Color.” It gave me a lot to think about, for both general and specific (but unfortunately non-bloggable) reasons. Some students arrogantly demand special privileges, while others who need and deserve certain, entirely reasonable kinds of assistance are afraid to ask for it. My law school needs to do a better job with these issues, and that includes me personally.

agreed. trouble is, most of us are so preoccupied with requests from students without these cultural inhibitions that many students deserving of our notice remain outside our collective peripheral vision.
