Reply #8: Sure, every blue blood rich white kid in the late 60's [View All]

REQUESTED to have black roommates. Some people choose to protest and complain about what's wrong with things. Others choose to actively do something to change the status quo. Dean is one of the others. Rather than get involved in protesting, Dean chose to volunteer to tutor poor kids from the projects and wanted to room with blacks because he respects and values diversity. He wanted to be part of the solution to the problem, not just another person who talked about the problem.

How would Dean's blue blood peers react to him sharing a room with black kids? This shows just how Dean's upbringing is irrelevent to the kind of human being he is. He may have been born into money, but he's as down to earth as a person can get.
