Hey man, I go to UConn and I am actually Greek 1st generation, my father was born in Istanbul and my mother in Greece. I majored in architecture for my associate degree as well. This somewhat surprises me with the professor being Greek, I would think he would be well educated about middle eastern people because Greeks have so much in common with the middle east culturally. People even mistake me for being lebanese or palastinian. His parents probably taught him Turks are bad, so he hates muslims
Under the SYSTEM of racism (white supremacy), which is a global SYSTEM, that behavior is to be expected. It all comes down to what you do about it...what speech and/or action that you can use to replace the SYSTEM of racism (white supremacy) with a SYSTEM of justice.
there is stopping racism, its called moral responsibility.
Racism isn't equated to breathing oxygen. It is NOT a necessary function of human existence. I graduated from UConn last year and this kind of incident does not surprise me at all. UConn is merely a hub for churrning out more New England suburbanites that lack common sense.
C'mon that aint nothing. I'm black and Muslim, and I've been in worse situations than that before, and and I've actually done something about it, physically sometimes if it came to that. I'm not advocating violence, but you can speak up for yourself if you don't like what you're hearing. By staying quiet, you're encouraging these people to continue. I would have challenged this dude in front of the class the first time he said something like that. Now use this video as evidence.
Seriously, the best way to react would be to make a website about how asians/muslims should avoid the racists at UConn, with your story there. Once admissions start to fall, maybe the pricks will get the message. In this day and age, no one should have to take that crap, especially from one immigrant to another. Professor Alexopoulis should get fired or lose tenure or something. What a snide, bullying coward. Even in the south we treat people better than that.

I really don't see the racism. I think he didn't like you but I don't see the racism. If you have law suit based on this you will lose.
