Also, it seems that every ethnicity is recognized with at least one course, allowing students, in effect, to study the subject with which they are already (and quite inevitably) most familiar: themselves. Is it any surprise that Afro-Americans are overrepresented in Afro-American Studies, or that Literature and Arts A-48, "The Modern Jewish Experience in Literature," is affectionately known as Jews for Jews...
