They were complaining that the camel was culturally incentive to middle easterners...
I figured they’d say he was racist toward AA’s due to the voice.

No history majors in the group? Well, only revisionist history.
Here in Arizona it is pretty well known that camels were imported in the 1850's as an experiment by the US Army.

More proof that no education is actually taking place on our college campuses.
These budding young Einsteins don't know that "hump" day refers to Wednesday as in "over the hump" of the workweek toward Friday? The analogy refers to a hill or mountain. It has nothing to do with the Middle East. It's just coincidence that Camels have humps.
Geez. I know they are worse than ignorant about history, but they don't even know popular culture???

Right, parading around a camel for the bystanders to admire and pet would be
racist, because Middle Easterners might be offended. Ditto zebras (which might offend Africans - well, not White Africans... so, I guess I mean African-American Africans). Showing kangaroos would DEFINITELY offend Australians (White Australians, or only African-American Australians? It's hard to figure). Latin Americans would probably
riot if the university showed up with llamas, right?
I wonder what animal would be offensive to light-complexioned Americans? To Europeans?
What the university should do is announce that they were gonna show swine, but then decided that it might be offensive to - I don't know - North Dakotans. If asked to explain that, university representatives could demonstrate their Political Correctness by saying that every Minnesotan knows that North Dakotans are pigs.
That just goes to show how convoluted Political Correctness has become nowadays.

To: chessplayer
Is there a committee somewhere who thinks these things up?
There are regional flora and fauna all over the world. Is referencing any of these things supposed to be insensitive?
Is a llama racist to South Americans? Was the Dr. Doolittle movie insensitive because of the Pushmi-Pullyu?
Was the Disney cartoon Lady and the Tramp insensitive because of the Siamese cats?
This is what happens when we don't teach the children reading, writing, and arithmetic in grade school. They go on to focus on this mush when they (somehow) get into college.

"....and the implication that it would be racially insensitive to Middle Eastern cultures."
How does THAT work? The presence of a camel, in and of itself, shouldn't be offensive to anyone. Now, if you put a put a bumper sticker on the back of the camel that said, "I brake for Al Qaeda", THEN you might have an argument.
Is the Arab League boycotting zoos and circuses now?
