Very interesting post Rafic, I like the point you made about people having an implicit bias. This is true for everybody regardless ethnicity or gender, and I think it is healthy to think about the reasons that explain why we have a bias towards a particular action, gender or ethnicity, are such reasons justified or not?, and what are the actions that we should do to be more neutral. For instance, we might have different thoughts about academic performance of people from different ethnicities, and that is ok; however, is any of such thoughts creating a gap between us and such group?.

I would not rely much in the potential contributions gained when university administrators organize activities to foster multi-cultural integration. I think self-reflection could give better results.
