UCLA Student States There Should Be More BLACK STUDENTS: "I Don't See People Who Look Like Me."

Peter uses Spectrum Street Epistemology to engage two UCLA students about race. One is a black student athlete from Chicago and the other is from Italy. Initially, the claims dealt with race at UCLA, broaching topics such as the racial makeup of UCLA, meritocracy, and truth. Eventually, the conversation evolves into whether it should be okay to exclude people based on race.

Midway through, Peter joins the two students. Reid Nicewonder, the President of Street Epistemology International, moderates the conversation. There are several points of disagreement between Peter and the students, particularly when it comes to meritocracy and racial affinity groups.
