The only issue I have with minorities in university courses is the language barrier that sometimes exists. Being in a group with an ESL student who is fresh with English is difficult and often creates more work for myself. Having to do a presentation with such a student is often difficult and almost a waste of time during their presentation because then many have difficulties understanding.
I will often drop a course if I have difficulty understanding the prof.
If more ESL students enroll, soon you could see more ESL profs, leading to a difficulty and I feel many students would struggle learning as much as they possibly could.

Do ESL students struggle understanding other ESL people speak in English?
