Students protest treatment of minorities at Claremont McKenna College
KABC News ^ | November 12, 2015 | Rob Hayes

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.

Click and watch the video. It is like South Park meets The Onion. I watched and kept thinking "This is like a bad comedy skit".

The reporter interviews Hiram Chodosh, the president of the college. He reminds me of what Rush Limbaugh calls the New Castrati.

“One of the students in the photo who was dressed as Justin Bieber resigned as junior class president.”

If the little snow flake was so enraged, he should have left school.

If these students of various races are being treated badly, how did they get admitted in the first place? If they are experiencing some sort of slights, shouldn’t they leave and go elsewhere? I think they are mainly psychologically weak and feel vulnerable about everything. This condition is most likely described as being a “loser”.

From kindergarten to college, the academies of the perpetually offended child.

It’s pathetic.

These so-called institutes of higher learning should be closed.

What astonishes me about all of the campus nonsense in the past few days is that these idiots actually believe that things are going to improve for them.

It’s getting worse.

Quick, somebody find out who Obama or one of his minions met with at Claremont McKenna College. Has to be somebody. Everywhere this racist crap props up, the trail leads right back to the White Hut.

White girl wears a sombrero.
Hurry! Run for your safe place.

I think 90% of the rest of the student body is going to start to get fed up with these idiots.
At least I hope so.

Go back to Mexico.

I’m sure there is no systematic microaggression there.

I think this is the result of the “everyone is a winner, everyone is special, everyone gets a trophy” group of kids coming of age.

I like how a minority of students are defending free speech and they’re being bullied, harassed and threatened by the majority who claim they are seeking to protect the rights of minorities.

And no one at these towers of intelligence see any irony in that.

“...It’s about the systematic oppression that students are facing here,” ...”

Delusional idiots.

The only upside to this is - they’ll be up-to-their-eyebealls-in-DEBT delusional idiots when they can’t find a job after fours years of this nonsense.
