Then we have to tell ethnic SJW that they can’t use the internet, cell phones or antibiotics because they didn’t invent that.

Many people on this site don’t know this little factoid about Cruz.

Anyone recall the uproar over the woman at a University that got railroaded because of comments made about Halloween costumes?

She is related to the wife of the Campaign Chairman of Ted Cruz. (Chad Sweet) It is her sister, IIRC

LOL.

How is this factoid about Cruz?

Gee, the college antics of the 1920s like swallowing goldfish (actual ones) seem like a serious endeavor.

Aaaahh, yes!

That was known as the "World's Freshest Sushi" movement.

However, less publicity was given the vehement opposition by the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists.

“They attended a party where some guests wore tiny sombreros.”

I laughed.

New campus dress code: Mao jackets. Oops, that’s appropriating Chinese culture. Little snowflakes perpetually offended.

Would it be considered "racist" or "offensive" or "cultural appropriation" if someone wore a kilt to a celebration of some Scottish holiday? If someone wore an "Uncle Sam" hat on the Fourth of July? If someone wore a beret on Bastille Day?

The more I think about it, it seems that the proponents of "political correctness" are the most hard-care racists and bigots of all, because they think that any expression of cultural particularity is offensive. In other words, they are advocating a world in which distinctive cultures are ABOLISHED.

Pathetic. These are not students; they are paid whiners.

Bowdoin lacks the push for mental acumen that it had in the days of Longfellow and Hawthorne, who graduated in 1825!
