berkeley doesn't force you to care about politics.
rather, like many other colleges, i assume, berkeley forces you to be aware about politics. i'm pretty sure you can get by without having a real opinion about anything, but that'd be pretty hard.
it just so happens that i care about a lot of issues centered around the issue of race. hence the frequent blogs on race. i also care about the environment, a bunch actually, but not as much as some of the folks here. and recently, i've been caring about animal rights. not that i'm planning on becoming a vegetarian anytime soon, but i'm TRYING to buy more humanely produced foods.
do you how they make foie gras?
or what makes a cage-free bird cage free?
it kinna sucks. the more i learn about these things, the more inclined i am to pay for the more expensive organic/free-range stuff. but at least it's forcing me to eat my vegetables.
i do offset my spending on food with not spending on movies that i can download or copy, or cds from artists that like to flaunt their wealth on tv. they deserve it!
i love school

I think your blog is also testimony to the fact that you care A LOT about white people.
so true. we can add veal from cows grown in craters to that list. i just hope whatever town i'm going to live in after berkeley can sustain my awareness. or maybe that should be a prereq of whatever town i choose to go to.
