The Multi-Cultural Inquisition!

Amazing this standard didn't apply to Mario Savio in Berkeley in 1964. And people wonder when I say the whole UC/Cal State system should be shut down.
The original dispute occurred Nov. 12, 2002, when Hinkle, a member of the College Republicans, entered the Cal Poly Multicultural Center to post a flyer promoting an upcoming speech by Mason Weaver, a conservative and African American author of the book It's OK to Leave the Plantation The book analyzes the dangers of African Americans becoming too dependent on government programs.
Several students confronted Hinkle and told him he needed approval from the coordinator of the multicultural center before he could post anything. While Hinkle left to investigate the claims, one of the students called the campus police department.
According to the police report eventually filed in the case, "On 11-12-02...we were dispatched to the multicultural center to investigate a report of a suspicious white male passing out literature of an offensive racial nature."
On Jan. 29 of this year, Cal Poly charged Hinkle with disrupting a student meeting - a Bible reading - in the multicultural center's lounge area.
Sounds like someone filed a false claim with the police. If Hinkle left the area peacefully to inquire about permission needed to post the flyer, and then the racist pig students called the police to report a "suspicious white male handing out literature," that is a hate-crime because it is based on his race, and filing a false report with the police. Then you have the civil lawsuits that Hinkle could initiate against the racist pig students, and possibly the "university."
As hopelessly racists as this may sound, but you know, I have wondering about this myself. This school is/was for those intent on a degree in engineering. Which is why I was so surprised (thought I know I shouldn't be) at the number of PC minorities who are students. For better or worse, the terms "minority student" and "engineering" do not usually go together.
Again, I don't know why I should be suprised. A few years back,when I live in Florida I was surprised to learn that FL A&M, despite it's title and academic history, was essentially a minority college, and not graduating legions of mining enginers or agronomists.
I just wonder how, and why, so many engineering schools have taken this have evolved in this manner.
Sounds just like how the taxes are paid in this country.

Well it does sound racist and you need to get with the Ward Connerly program of black achievement. To the extent that minorities are underrepresented it's 'cause we havn't held 'em to the same high standards of excellence. I believe, and have seen, that minorities can be (and are) world class engineers.
Translation: You are on the wrong side of the tracks, white boy. When you get challenged by a brother, tuck your chin and tug your forelock, or prepare to get a righteous fresh can opened on you.
That's called "indiscriminate violence" and "shooting yourself in the foot with an 8-inch howitzer", since it promptly hands the other side a propaganda victory.
It's also the counsel of despair. It isn't time to get Roman yet.
