Protests erupted on the Claremont McKenna College campus Thursday after photos of controversial costumes from a Halloween party showed up on social media.
Thousands of students from the five Claremont campuses marched through the area after a photo of two girls dressed in sombreros and ponchos with mustaches was posted on Tumblr and was circulated on social media.
"It's not about the picture. It's about the systematic oppression that students are facing here," student Edgar Morelos said.
Dean Mary Spellman resigned in the wake of ongoing student complaints about the campus' race issues.
One of the students in the photo who was dressed as Justin Bieber resigned as junior class president.

Did you ever notice they cannot provide reasonable examples of "systematic oppression"?
Apparently, one, large, desegregated student union building is "systematic oppression", where discrete white, black, Latino, and Asian student union buildings would not be.
Apparently, the university's leadership, such as the Board of Trustees, the President of the university, and the faculty making decisions, is "systematic oppression". Mob rule by the students is not.

This college says typical attendance costs over 66,000 dineros per year, and that’s without the obligatory student lambroghinni . Any kid who can afford ( or is having his way paid for him or her) over a quarter million bucks just for a college “efucation” is hardly a candidate for “systemic oppression”. Great big giant BS meter goes here :
These resignations do not help, they only encourage more bullying.
I have yet to hear one single "issue" that actually exists at any of these places. Some kid dressing as Justin Bieber for Halloween doesn't count in my book as some sort of "act of systemic oppression".
These morons are reading from some script they've been handed by one of Obama's OFA groups, and they don't realize how silly they sound.
I didn't know Justin Bieber was a race. You live and learn.
Islam also Bans Fun
It must have offended Canadians.
Assimilation is a pipe dream; if it can’t happen here with fifty years of freebies and preferential treatment, it can’t happen anywhere. Some segments of our population are simply never going to catch up.
So a costume of any government-certified victim group is no good? what is ok? dressing up as an evil white oppressor?
THAT is WHY they aren't assimilating. I was just talking with my kids about that. Back in the day the black families stayed together, strong family values, church-going, etc. When the “Great Society” took hold the statistics started going south, and just get worse every year. (Something like 70% with no dad). If someone is willing to reward poor behavior like getting freebies if you have another child and don't have a husband, that behavior will continue.
It is really sad to see what the democrats have done.
I agree; a black sharecropper in the South in 1920 was more assimilated/American than these rejects...
No one would pay that much to be somewhere they were so mistreated.
Like the stats that one in five college women are raped, you know it isn’t true because no one in their right mind would PAY for the privilege to attend a place so bad.
