San Jose State students accused of tormenting black roommate are charged with hate crimes

I just wanted to share this article that I found based on San Jose State.  There was a student that was been tormented by his three white roommates.  This is taken from the San Jose Mercury News: "white roommates nicknamed him "Three-fifths," referring to the way the government once counted blacks as just a fraction of a person. When he protested, they dubbed him "Fraction."

Its unfortunate to see that what happened in the 1960s is still happening today.
