Campus Reform ^

Posted on 10/09/2015 11:21:17 AM PDT by TigerClaws

Clemson University issued an apology to students on Thursday after what appears to be a small group of students were offended by an annual Mexican cuisine event put on by university dining services.

Clemson Dining’s "Maximum Mexican" night, has become a student favorite over the last several years, and this year was no different, at first.

To be absolutely sure of not “offending” any “ethnicity”, college campuses should only allow green and orange crackers.

Oops, did I say “crackers”? Oh, that’s OK, that only offends whites!

It doesn’t take much to offend the perpetually offended. Fortunately PC is now under major fire.

Then I better not hear they served corned beef on St Patrick’s Day!
= = = = = = = = = = = = =

Guess that means the traditional Irish 7 course meal is no more.

that be 1 potato and a 6 pack of beer.

(I be an O’C...so am exempt from Irish ethnic BS)

Better stop serving Italian, French, and Greek food and food from all other countries, as well as all regional U.S. cuisine, because someone might be offended.

Why stop there? Let’s just cut to the chase and ban ALL foods for being culturally insensitive. You better stop serving hot dogs... it offends the redneck in me.

To look at S&W Model 19s for sale, go to gunbroker.com. Expensive, but they’re there. Not nearly as expensive as Colts, though.

Dr. Doug Hallenbeck, Clemson University’s Senior Associate Vice President of Student Affairs apologized for the event’s “flattened cultural view of Mexican culture.”

Mr. Hallenbeck's employment with Clemson University should be terminated - today.

But I am sure sushi is ok.

Protest every food. Then protest mayo because it is white. Then protest pudding. In the end, all the students will get is what Lady Obama proscribes.

thanks. i waste money on garbage so this would be worth it.

have to start looking into this asinine state’s gun ownership laws.

I think now that you can’t be 100 percent 2nd amendment until you shoot a gun :)

i think i was 100 percent, but after shooting, forget about it :)

forget it about it means a good thing in italian, or sometimes a bad thing, or sometimes, just forget about it :)

stole that from Donny Brasco, but it’s true :)

We’re filling our country with emotional cripples unable to experience the most mundane parts of life without being offended.

Apparently whites are only allowed to eat white bread and mayonnaise. Otherwise it is racist.

Just don’t do it in Northern Ireland!

So as not to offend anyone else, they should close the campus to any and all food. Period. The end. Not even a gummy bear can be brought onto campus. Try that for two days and then we’ll see who is apologizing.
