All I can really say is, does anyone think it might be covered differently if this sort of thing was going on at Ole Miss or Georgia Tech?

Do they have separate ceremonies for:

Italian-Americans

German-Americans

Irish-Americans

Anglo-Americans

White Heterosexual Americans

Chritian-Americans

Jewish-Americans

Canadian-Americans

etc., etc.

?

OR, are they discriminating there, too?

Seems like the entire 60’s was a bust.

Damn hippies. They put us on a speedboat for the waterfall that lies at the end of Sh*t Creek.

Thank God for making it so that everyone eventually dies. Once they're dead we can clean up the mess. And if they out live us, well, at least we'll escape the hell they've made.

[Nea Wood]

They forgot to say when the white, heterosexual Christian graduation ceremony is! I’m sure that was just an oversight.

Some students are presumably eligible for four or five graduations. A gay student with a Native American father and a Filipino mother could attend the Asian, Filipino, and American Indian ceremonies, plus the mainstream graduation and the Lavender Graduation for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered students.

So many potential jokes, so little time! ;^)

California going down the drain.

“I,m so confused”, said the adopted straight son of two lesbians, one of which is a 1/2 Black, 1/2 American Indian Muslim and the other a 1/2 Mexican, 1/2 Asian atheist

lol, I graduated from UCLA last year. Most people who aren’t screaming for special recognition just graduate at the ceremony for their respective school (Arts and Letters, Science, ect...)I remember laughing about this same subject last year. This is a result of the race first analysis that professors love to teach. These people are the biggest racists and never recognize the fact.

[antiRepublicrat]

Promoters of ethnic and racial graduations often talk about the strong sense of community that they favor.

How about the "community" of the entire college? This reminds me of the Weird Al song with "transsexual Nazi Eskimos."

[Red Badger]

Sad, that everything that MLK and all thoe people who died in the Civil Rights era, fighting against is now demanded. Like they died for nothing..........

[seemoAR]

Only white males can be racist. :0)

[LantzALot]

Rule #1:
If liberals do it, it's okay.

Rule #2
Even if it's bad, see Rule #1.

[Polyxene]

So much for integration and assimilation...........
