It’s Not Always About Colour was written on February 5 2005 in Toronto by Morgan Campbell, who was in the “white” school system for 13 years in Mississauga, the article is about how black students approach their education. He said that it wasn't racism that contributed to their bad grades it was their attitude. The author also said that many were peer pressured and bullied into thinking that if they did well that were “whitewashed” or forced to choose between good grades or ethnic identity. It’s sad that at that time if you were black you weren't expected to have good grades when everyone should be expected of the same thing. Mr. Campbell said “it disturbed me that I only had one black teacher in 13 years, but I never lacked role models.
