Yeah I know. It'd be great to meet everyone! My cousin goes there anyway and I've seen heaps!

I guess it's because if there's someone who holds the same beliefs and values as you do, you will automatically feel comfortable with who you are with and develop a quicker friendship

. It is an odd statement, but it happens

lol il know what was meant but just saying it's a weird statement to make i mean... cronulla riots lol - what i'm meant to rock up at the beach and think "WOOT YEH lets go bash some lebs!" just cos i'm white?....

its just a silly assumption... t here's so many people at uni and it's not like you go up to people and say "hey are you muslim?" as an introduction

lol. That's true, what you said but also remember that some Muslim females wear the Hijab, so you can tell straightaway that they're Muslim, no questions asked. Unless you plan on talking to the guys, then I guess that question is necessary

lol i only know one muslim girl at uni who wears a hijab lol so doesn't help much for the girls either

sparkl3z · Jan 28, 2006

i think u can make friends with anybody from our uni though, or most, i havent seen any unfriendly peoples around, everyone is like social with everyone, most of the time that i've seen.

It's much better that way, to be friends with anyone regardless of their religion/culture/background, greater variety! Like a salad dressing - different fruits and veges all thrown in the one dish

parramatta - not that that means anything because my point still remains valid...

yeah, i was just wondering which campus you were talking about. In contrast, Bankstown has like heaps.

yes but it doesn't matter... because not all female muslims wear a hijab, let alone all muslims since half are men... and it doesn't matter because just coz your religion is teh same doesn't mean you will like them...

that was my point and it is the same regardless of what campus you are on or how many muslims are there....

purplemonkey · Jan 28, 2006

Bachelor of Arts (Asian Studies)...woo hoo!!

true, I've seen and met some other Muslim girls and think, how ironic.

krisk85 · Jan 29, 2006

muslims are usually minorities.. thats all i meant, so if she is a muslim.. she will atleast feel a bit more comfortable if there are others like her there.. especialy if she has to wear a hijab, like you said.. you've only seen one at parramatta,so how do you think she feels being hte only one wearing it?

how would i know... i don't exactly ask... its just clothing... its not like she's ten foot tall with 2 heads or something...

i mean.. geez... i was one of 2 "white" people in heaps of my classes in 1st semester but it doesn't mean i "feel" like i'm a minority even tho i was... likewise, if another "white" person rocks up i don't automatically feel 'comfortable'... on top of that i'm agnostic unlike the majority of the uni... doesn't mean i get on with the few others around...

its still a silly assumption

I don't think you should base your assumptions on how other people feel - it is unwise to do so. I'd have to disagree with you here, just because she's the only one with the Hijab doesn't necessary make her feel uncomfortable. We don't really know - unless she comes up here on BOS herself and declare her feelings

But let's just say you're making a generalisation

melsc · Jan 29, 2006

krisk85 · Jan 30, 2006
