Hopkins missing tolerance
The Johns Hopkins University seems like a bubble in the middle of Baltimore, enclosed within a city with all kinds of problems. This bubble is made up of a community of educated and intelligent people that may not seem susceptible to the problems of prejudice, ignorance and intolerance. During my two years at Hopkins, I have always felt safe here. I think of Hopkins as my home, though it is very different from where I grew up. The feelings of comfort, safety and belonging that I feel here supercede any of these differences. But, something startling has recently happened that has forced me to realize that Hopkins is not as free of these problems as I had thought.
