Looks like she spends entirely too much time in the dining hall.

Two people who work to prepare food for students at New York University have lost their jobs for serving a meal featuring food and beverages believed to be stereotypically associated with black cuisine. The New York Times reports:
On Tuesday, a dining hall at New York University advertised a special meal in honor of Black History Month. On the menu? Barbecue ribs, corn bread, collard greens, and two beverages with racist connotations: Kool-Aid and watermelon-flavored water.
Nia Harris, a sophomore in N.Y.U.'s College of Arts & Science, sought an explanation from Weinstein Passport Dining Hall's head cook. The cook dismissed her objections, Ms. Harris said in an email to university officials, telling her that the Kool-Aid was actually fruit punch (it was not, she said) and that the dining hall served fruit-flavored water "all the time" (it does, she said, but not watermelon).
The head cook also told Ms. Harris that the employees who planned the menu were black.
Ms. Harris, 19, posted a screen shot of her email on Facebook, along with a post that began, "This is what it's like to be a black student at New York University." It spread quickly.
So, thanks to the exquisite sensitivity of Ms. Harris, two people who probably earn less than her yearly tuition are without jobs in an expensive city. Nice work!
I recall drinking a lot of it at summer camp, too. And the only time I get to drink watermelon juice is at my favorite Mexican restaurant, which serves it. I was not aware of the "racist connotations" Ms. Harris objects to. Now, maybe I am clueless, but it is also clear that lots and lots of people who are not black see nothing particularly black or racist about either of them

we sure live in a sicko society if preparing ribs, etc. is “cause” for being fired
(except at a synagogue luncheon, smile smile smile)
Years ago I was always invited to dinner at one of my co-worker`s homes. She always served barbecue ribs, corn bread, collard greens, and sweet potato pie. I kid you not. What is all the fuss about?
Just serve quiche and cod all month.
And salads, lots of salads.
Looks like she spends entirely too much time in the dining hall.
19 year old snot gets her own peeps fired, love when they eat their own

This privileged liberal a-hole should walk into any soul food restaurant and see what’s on the menu. It’s not racist, it’s good down home cookin’.
They caved..........
And the cook's ought to sue the carp out of them!
Give them pounded yams. Great W African chow.
Good thing for NYU that the Irish arent snowflakes and Saint Patricks Day is on a Saturday this year.....
Yep. Needs to dress properly to get rid of that “fat camel toe”, too.
When did Black America culturally appropriate Kool-Aid?
Is she blocking the school cafeteria door?
If they’d had a kale salad with raspberry vinaigrette dressing they would have been fired for being too white.
I thought they imbibed Colt 45

bundt cake ( from a box )

They forgot to make fried chicken and black-eyed peas.
