A group of Latina students at a ritzy private college in Southern California recently covered the exterior wall of a residence hall with a large graffiti-style message declaring: “White Girl, Take OFF your hoops!!!” The scene of the spray-paint fracas is Pitzer College, reports the Claremont Independent, a student newspaper. Pitzer, a member of the five-school Claremont Consortium, charges $66,192 for a single year of tuition, fees and room and board. The word “hoops” in the ultimatum from the Latina students refers to hoop earrings.
