Stevenson College is apologizing to its students for serving Mexican food during "Intergalactic" night.
In a letter sent out to students, the college apologized for having "a Mexican food buffet," while also featuring spaceships and aliens. The college received complaints saying the combination was racist because of the association between Mexicans and illegal immigrants.
"We would never want to make a connection between individuals of Latino heritage or undocumented students and "aliens" and I am so sorry that our College Night appeared to do exactly that," wrote Carolyn Golz, who had taken this picture of the activities before the complaints:
After receiving complaints, Dr. Golz said that the event "demonstrated a cultural insensitivity on the part of the program planners and, though it was an unintentional mistake, I recognize that this incident caused harm within our community and negatively impacted students."
As a result, Dr. Golz "will require cultural competence training for Programs staff, in addition to implementing mechanisms for future program planning that will ensure college programs are culturally sensitive and inclusive."

Another facepalm from the Society of the Perpetually Offended.
Is there ANYTHING that won’t offend someone?
Is this satire or is it real? You can’t eat Mexican food at a sci fi event because someone will associate sci fi aliens with illegal aliens from Mexico???,, am I understanding this correctly??? What the heck???
In space, no one can hear you fart.
How about that people just love Mexican food? And it makes an attractive and delicious buffet?
Marxists do love their political reeducation camps.
Another example of why it is impossible to parody the left.
well dont that just wanna make you crap in your sombrero !!!
Even worse than the bogus claim of being offended is the grovelling apology.
You will never meet anyone as narrow-minded, ideological and bureaucratically stupid as an “academic.”
apologize?
for what?
idiots like this dont belong running colleges
they dont belong even being admitted to colleges
they should be sent to a rubber room asylum for protective care
Oh, senores y senoritas. I would much much rather have tacos y burritos y frijoles y arroz y tortillas rather than aliens ANY day.
I had to open this post to have any idea at why they were apologizing.
is this from The Onion ?
The people who made this “connection” should be expelled. They are obviously too stupid to pursue a college education.
Think about it really hard!
When your IQ is in the single digit range, it will suddenly make complete sense!
*whisperin*..you've got to be the ugliest thing to ever cross the border,you bigearedannoyingbonediggingbuttsniffer
No, and I’m offended that you would ask such a question. :=)
Can’t they just have undocumented Mexican food without banning it?
