College Apologizes for Serving Mexican Food at Science Fiction Event
Front Page ^

It’s funny how liberals liked using the Salem Witch Trials are a metaphor for America, when it’s really a metaphor for them. Social Justice Warriors can see something offensive in a grain of sand and demand, and receive an apology.

Welcome to Stevenson College. The letter you are about to read is real even though it sounds like it comes from the Twilight Zone.

Unfortunately, the program planners made a poor decision when choosing to serve a Mexican food buffet during a program that included spaceships and “aliens”, failing to take into account how these choices might be perceived by others.

Is this real? I have witnessed firsthand this type of lunacy on college campuses, so I've adopted the policy of 'never saying never' even when it is seems like satire.

The only people who would make this linkage are those who have an unnatural and unhealthy obsession with racial issues. They should be locked up before they hurt themselves or someone else.

You know that linkage is so weak that if it occurred to you when standing in the buffet line next to a friend you wouldn't make it into a joke because your friend would never get it.

In a sane world this letter would have been considered satire.

There’s nothing like a good plateful of deep-fried Tralfamadorians.

We were really bored at UC Santa Cruz in the fall of 1967. There was nothing to do in town - its two theaters at the time showed only Disney movies and motorcycle flicks. This resulted in a comic cultural shock when the Asian student's group showed an old Charlie Chan movie in the original Stevenson College dining hall as an example of the evils of racism.

Lots of students showed up and loved the thing because it was entertaining and well-made. There was applause, laughter and loud demands for more Charlie Chan movies.

At worst, a quick disclaimer would have been suitable that this was not about calling Mexicans “aliens.” At WORST. To act like you need a deep groveling apology for a silly unintentional faux pas — is to yield to the blaspheming devil.

Tue Tuareg (Touareg) are not an ancient tribe: they are a substantial present-day subset of the Berbers in central-Saharan and South-Saharan Africa. And they still have slaves (although that's technically illegal.)

I don't know anything about the VW controversy, but I suspect it wasn't because of moral opporbrium of Tuaregs as a slave-trading society, but shaking a finger at the Germans for "cultural appropriation." VW says they called their vehicle Touareg because it's a tough off-road car and the Touaregs are tough off-road people.

You Better Come Home, Speedy Gonzales

It was a moonlit night in old Mexico.
I walked alone between some old Adobe haciendas.
Suddenly, I heard the plaintive cry of a young Mexican girl:

La la la,
La la la la la la la la,
La la la la la la la la,
La la la la,
La la la la.

You better come home, Speedy Gonzales
Away from tannery row
Stop all of your drinkin'
With that floozie named Flo

Come on home to your adobe
And slap some mud on the wall
The roof is leakin' like a strainer
There's loads of roaches in the hall

Speedy Gonzales, why don't ya' come home?
Speedy Gonzales, how come ya' leave me all alone?

Hey, Rosita - I hafta' go shopping downtown For my mudder - she needs some tortillas and chili peppers.

Your doggy's gonna have a puppy
And we're runnin' outta' coke
No enchiladas in the icebox
And the television's broke

I saw some lipstick on your sweatshirt
I smelled some perfume in your ear
Well if you're gonna' keep on messin'
Don't bring your business back here

Mmm, Speedy Gonzales, why don't ya' come home?
Speedy Gonzales, how come ya' leave me all alone?

Hey, Rosita-come queek - down at the cantina they giving green stamps with tequila!!

La la la,
La la la la la la la la,
La la la la la la la la,
La la la la,
La la la la.

Americans of Oriental background at the time of Charlie Chan generally were diligent and hard working and had a sense of humor. It’s kind of hard to victimize a group with an ethic like that. They will rise above it like cream rises to the top of milk.

“So...just what kind of food IS served aboard UFOs?”

Space tacos, galactic enchiladas, and interstellar quesadillas.....so as not to offend.

“Educators” once again prove why people understand “education” degrees to be a crock. What a bunch of brainless degenerates.

I can’t believe this.

So, because of aliens in science fiction, and the fact that there are so many illegal aliens from Mexico in this country, that means it is bigoted to have Mexican food at a sci fi event?

Because people will associate Mexican food with illegal aliens, and sci fi deals with aliens of another kind???

What the heck kind of reasoning comes up with this???

Thank you for the information. I suspect slavery is much more common and widespread than most people believe. A Pilipino maid can not leave Saudi Arabia without her “master’s” permission. That was the word I read in an article about a maid who had gone on the run in SA because of her treatment.

When I was in college I visited a biker bar with totally nude women. I have never been so uncomfortable. Not because of the nudity but because these young girls appeared to be the property of various bikers who I believe were living off the girl’s income. Although this is illegal it must be hard to prove or local prosecutors aren’t interested in proving it. Keeping a girl hooked on drugs is no less confining than chains.

Although most things are better for the common people in the twenty-first century than at any time prior, there are still dark shadows cast by civilization’s dirty undersides.

As a result of this incident, I will require cultural competence training for Programs staff...

Can anybody explain to me just what the hell that is? Do they make everybody sit in a room and watch foreign films? Same for the "sensitivity training" that I hear bandied about whenever somebody gets offended in a place of business. I've worked in business my whole adult life and I've never experienced "sensitivity training". Does sensitivity training actually exist or is it just thrown out there as a PR maneuver?
