Schema- I cannot relate to people of different races, or at the ethnicities, because we are so different.

Scenario- your freshman roommate this year is of another race or ethnicity.
If you are assimilate you might think?
If you were accommodate you might think?

If you are assimilating, you might think that you need to try to blend in with your freshman roommate and their culture as much as possible in order to fit in and avoid any potential conflicts.

If you are accommodating, you might think that it's important to respect and appreciate your freshman roommate's culture and try to learn more about it. You might also be open to sharing your own culture with your roommate and finding common ground.
