Hoax confirmed: ‘Whites Only’ sign at UW-Madison was part of protest for ‘underrepresented students’
College Fix ^ | October 18, 2019 | Greg Piper

The University of Wisconsin-Madison got fooled by yet another racial hoax.

The administration alerted the community mid-morning Friday morning that a seemingly racist sign that popped up on campus overnight “appear” to have been “part of a protest calling attention to experiences of underrepresented students.”

Messages on the signs included “UW 4 Whites Only.” The administration waved off the possibility it was a hoax in its first response to the signs, tweeting that it “stands against hate and racism” and was investigating the “racist” signs. One commenter quickly raised the hoax possibility.

SOP for the Commies.

That anybody takes that nonsense seriously remains a mystery to me.

If the university fired every person “investigating” all of these racial hoaxes, they could endow a new chair of “Racial Hoaxing.”

More likely it was a leak of admin diversity plans - only 4 whites will be allowed.

We need a stronger word than “hoax” both for these hoped-for attacks on white people and for attacks on the President. “Hoax” sounds a lot like “prank” and these are not pranks. When the police are involved it’s not funny.

Another day, another racist hoax.

What this demonstrates is that there is so little racism in the US that democrats have to manufacture racism hoaxes.

Whites are 70% of the population. Blacks 12%. I would bet the farm the “underrepresented” at that liberal enclave are white males. Further underrepresented are white men. I grew up where there were signs in places of public accommodation stating white or colored. These people haven’t a clue. They are simply attention whores seeking sympathy for being such unfortunate victims of someone else’s imagined meanness. Get over yourself.

Yup, the left has claimed all hate speech for themselves.
Pretending that they are the (far superior) right wing, of course.

Remember when UW had to Photoshop in a black guy on their Admissions Catalog?

The people responsible were trying to incite violence.
They need to be punished accordingly.

That's why they lost to Illinois on Saturday. They don't have enough underrepresented minorities.

Wisconsin is 6.6% black. I don't know what the percentage is at the flagship campus of the University of Wisconsin.

Because only a liberal would be stupid enough to put a ‘whites only’ sign up.

And the ‘team’ that made those signs law, is the team behind this cr@p, today.

They are racists. Teaching that blacks will fail because they’re not white, to teaching that blacks will not succeed because they are black - the left really would like us back on plantations.

If overt racism was as common as they would have you believe, they would not have to invent it.

Hoax, yes, but whites need safe spaces, too.

This will only highlight the fact that UW needs to do more for the underrepresented “communities”.

The hoaxers will be rewarded.
