So even though there was nothing racial about the incident, other than the reaction of the perpetually offended, they are still using this as a reason to subject everyone to racial awareness seminars.

So, uh, would an avocado facial be racist against Martians? Or something. I swear some of these assclowns sure have vibrant imaginations.

I’m offended by the university’s response. Much ado about nothing.

which led to a furious reaction.

After which the offended parties scurried off to their campus "safe spaces" to emotionally recover.

So, they were getting a mudpack facial?

Looking at the pic, it’s hard to tell what sex they are. I think they look male, but not very.

The only RACE that should be discussed there is how much beer should be purchased for the party and watching DAYTONA Sunday!

I can’t believe some of this nonsense in today’s world.

Off topic, but, what do you think ISIS thinks when they see the western world tied up in knots over stuff like this??? Are they shocked and awed by our sensitivity, or do they us as a civilization in its death throes, which actually encourages their barbarism towards us????

EVERYTHING causes offense to someone, somewhere these days.

So Rachel dolezal could publicly identify as “black” professionally, affinity group-wise, and personally — including how she physically presented her hair...and nobody rushed to “racial awareness” seminars in her area...but 2 people briefly dawn a mudpie...and shreek! Raise the alarms!

Because they can. it has nothing to do with an offence, it has to do with the narrative of creating an offence.

Yep, this type of libs-gone-wild stuff no doubt encourages the jihadis. In Europe even more so due to their lack of RKBA laws. Thankfully we still have the 2A.

It doesn’t matter. I just mentioned it because someone else on the thread did.

A male couple doing facials? They may be of a protected class.
