I should clarify that I never meant that UGA, as an institution, was racist. I don't think that they discriminate against their students.
I also didn't mean that Gainesville is any better, I actually have no idea. My cousin doesn't live here, she just commutes, and she likes the school better, but doesn't actually live in Gainesville. It is actually further from Atlanta, and possibly even less diverse than Athens. I think it's a pretty small town.
