America’s Goofiest College Race War [Higher Learning]

Are college kids in San Diego particularly racist, or just, perhaps, particularly dumb? Monday, a ” KKK-style hood ” was found “atop a Dr. Seuss statue” on campus, naturally. Allow us to briefly recap sunny UCSD’s recent reign of racial hullabaloo: On Feb. 15, some idiot frat boys hold a “Compton Cook-Out.” But the thing is these guys were actually white and not from Compton, you see! It was all just a run-of-the-mill, racist joke. It was funny when they ate watermelon there! Also UCSD kids were mad because there is a “satiric” frat boy idiot newspaper there called The Koala , which makes funny cutting-edge jokes about black people, for white people. The Koala apparently did not contribute to the atmosphere of healing in the wake of the “Compton Cook-Out,” if you know what we mean. In response, the UCSD administration planned a “teach-in” about racism. “LAME SAUCE,” was the opinion of our own UCSD correspondent and her non-frat-boy allies. So then, according to our embedded correspondent, the anti-racist UCSD forces “staged a MASSIVE walk-out of the teach in: something like 1000 students and faculty marched right the fuck on out of the administration-sponsored event and held a giant protest and alternative teach-in.” Is the anti-racism teach-in the real enemy here? We’ll leave that to current college students to decide. Then last week, good lord, somebody put a noose in the UCSD. Are there any remaining nooses in America not located on college campuses, at this point? The noose student anonymously apologized, saying it was all a big mistake. Here is our favorite part of that explanation : “I found a small piece of rope on the ground earlier in the day…. My friend then took the rope and tied it into a noose. I innocently marveled at his ability to tie a noose.” Now somebody has put a Klan hood on a Dr. Seuss statue. Maybe it was the Compton Cook-Out guys? Time for another teach-in! And another counterprotest of that sellout teach-in! Repeat, until student loans come due. [Pics: Flickr , Stop Racism at UCSD ]
