Running 2017-18 college microaggressions/safe spaces thread

All fraternities should be nuked.

 

Maybe I’m completely off, and it’s probably hard to tell for sure, but aren’t they mocking another frat for being racist and anti-Semitic?

 

That was genuinely painful to watch. What a pack of fucking idiots.

I can only imagine their parents watching that vid and realizing this is the college experience they saved their whole lives to provide that kid.

 

One of 'em will probably be the Daily Orange editor soon.

 

The case for this position grows stronger each year.

 

Paging Ben Shapiro and Bari Weiss! Your ever-staunch defense of academic freedom is sorely needed!

 

That might be true, and I know your instinct is often to be the "But maybe" guy, which is a good and useful service. But frat bros being at best dumb and at worst racist is not a subject worthy of the risk.

 

When I was in college at my lilly white college, there was a fraternity that had shirts for some party that read, "The West Side is the best side" (their house was on the west side of campus), and the shirts had the "W" fingers/hand gesture printed on them. That comes to mind. They were being ironic because they knew were as white as Pat Boone, not mocking black culture.

 

Conservative Twitter has been almost 100 percent in agreement that this professor should not lose her job.

 

Conservative Twitter? Is that like Deep State or Dark Web?

 

Joining a fraternity has always seemed like such a terrible idea. College is supposed to be about learning how to think (in theory), so joining an organization that demands groupthink is counterproductive.

 

Agreed. Good thing my fraternity didn't demand that.
