He is also the author of numerous books including Dear White America: Letter to a New Minority, White Like Me: Reflections of Race from a Privileged Son, Colorblind: The Rise of Post-Racial Politics and the Retreat from Racial Equity, Under the Affluence: Shaming the Poor, Praising the Rich and Sacrificing the Future of America.

#DontBoxMeInToo

Ricardo Destinvil is a SUNY Cortland Political Science major, Multicultural Life and Diversity Office intern, a National Student Affairs Professional Undergraduate Fellow, and a Residence Assistant. Mr.Destinvil has been expressing his critical race and social justice frameworks through art and we are proud to present #DontBoxMeInToo. This project is the second in a series of critical race and social justice videos that started with the original work entitled #DontBoxMeIn, which looked at the stereotype of inferiority in people of African descent. This video focuses on a broad range of stereotypes and Mr. Destinvil hopes that the video resonates with your lived experiences and awakens your drive to end the boxing in of those who are different.

Join SUNY Cortland Orientation Assistants as they share valuable tips for succeeding as a new student. In this video, they stress the importance of respecting all aspects of human differences and its impact on students' experiences on-campus. How will your conversations and experiences impact what you write on others' whiteboards and what others will write on your whiteboard?
