Sorry. The above article still does not justify the overbearing reaction to a school advisor that just wrote suggesting that people can police their own costumes. I read that e-mail and still do not find anything offensive about it. It does not justify yelling or getting aggressive or getting all up in an administrator's space. It does not justify saying that college is not an intellectual space but a safe space.

there are ways of showing resistance that does not show the facist tendencies, intolerance and bullying these college students have demonstrated. I for one would not be hiring any of the students that signed their names in the petition if their resumes ever came by my desk.[/quote]

Lots of allegations of "systemic racism" in that piece with nothing to back it up other than a black woman supposedly being turned away from a white boy frat party.  That might make you feel unwelcome at the next white boy frat party, but how does it make you feel unwelcome on campus generally, much less unsafe.  Seems like some hysteria taking hold among some privileged minority students who don't really know what to do with the situation - if they do anything other than express total support for the "victim" or do anything other than write articles and posts decrying the "systemic racism," they become sell-outs.  Kind of like the feminists during the Jackie debacle at U.Va.[/quote]
