Jensen shared testimony he has received from minorities. Jensen talked about a Hispanic man who joined what he thought was a color-blind fra ternity. After a night of drinking, one of his white fraternity brothers turned to him and said, “I nev er figured out why you were in college anyway, since you’re going to go back to picking beans.” Jensen told another story about an African- American man who was consistently stopped by police in his own neighborhood who did not seem to believe that a black man could drive a nice car and live in a nice area.
