As an NDSU alumni, I take pride in the fact that my alma mater actually emphasizes the teaching of real world skills rather than political correctness. I don't know how much it has changed, but I got a kick out of this statement:

Malika Carter, NDSU assistant director of multicultural student services, said students of color who were at the March 18 event came to her with concerns.

I wonder if it was both of them. I actually had "students of color" as classmates. Quite a few of them came from Africa and were there to learn skills like mechanical engineering, soil science and growing better crops to improve their homelands. They had zero time for feel-good political correctness crap.

Most of the students there understand just how useful political correctness is if you are ever out on an open range before a blizzard trying to move livestock to shelter or other similar real life situations in the Dakotas (or Africa, for that matter). Life can be stressful in such a harsh climate. Poking fun at nimrods who have nothing better to do than get their feeling hurt is one way they relieve stress.

Now, don't get me started telling Norwegian jokes!

I use to fly up to Northern North Dakota around the Williston area several times a year.

The folks I met were self reliant and had no time for this political correctness bull Shiite pushed by race enablers and racists baiter's.
