My son is a senior in high school and he is considering U of I. To get a better feel for the campus culture we went to the homecoming football game today. I noticed that the cheerleading team is all white and I didn't see any African American kids in the band, although my son thinks there are. What's up with that? I would think there would be a better representation of many racial groups there. Also, I saw a billboard for an African American homecoming dance. Is homecoming segregated? Is discrimination a problem at U of I?
