An entirely different brand of stupidity at Penn State

Compton is well over 2/3 latino today, for what its worth.

 

This is the most Sonner thing to ever happen.

 

Haha. Oh c'mon. Don't tell me you don't enjoy a Hurricane every now and again. Don't I owe you a beer anyway? Hope you take payment in the form of delicious malt liquor!

 

Group of spoiled, entitled white girls does culturally ignorant, mildly-offensive thing on social media.

Controversy simmers.

School scrambles to cover its ass, distancing itself from group of spoiled, entitled white girls while also promising this will be used as a teaching moment.

Group of spoiled, entitled white girls feels aggrieved. Say it's just a coincidence no Latina students have ever been a member of spoiled social club, insisting it's only because none have ever applied because, like, don't they have their own thing? Don't they like to hang with their people?

"I'm not racist," says Ashley Lynn Taylor Maplethorpe. "I go to Chipotle all the time and order the burrito bowl!"

Cable news network hears the call to arms, rushes to defend the majority's right to offend.

Controversy fades when very few Latino students can be found at ridiculously expensive public school who are truly aggrieved. They're too busy studying, working, hoping to complete the impossible goal of avoiding assholes at overpriced public university.

Sorority rolls eyes, begins making plans for Egyptian Slave Girl night, with free brownface makeup to be handed out at the door by someone with a weather-based or seasonal name: Summer, Stormy, Misty, Autumn, Rainy.

Fin.

 

Once I thought I saw you
in a crowded hazy dive
Talking to a bookie
about the lines
Walk across the pool room
And over to the bar
I saw your greasy hands
take out your card.

You would like a Hurricane
To calm down your high
And I'm starting to laugh away
You won a bet
and now you hope the feeling stays
I want to congratulate
But I'm starting to laugh away

I am just a gambler
But you are just a gamble
You could have saved that money
for something smart
Before that moment
you laid out the vig
That perfect moment
when you can renig
You grabbed the bottle
and you took a swig

You would like a Hurricane
to calm down your high
And I'm starting to laugh away
You won a bet
and now you hope the feeling stays
I want to congratulate
But I'm starting to laugh away

 

/wipes away a single tear

Beautiful!

 

I'm not going to defend these sorority chicks, but do you really know that all fifty girls are spoiled, and entitled? Pretty broad generalization, unless you actually know all fifty, which I am guessing you don't.

Lotsa people on SportsJournalists.com get their feathers ruffled when people generalize about certain other classes or groups of people. But put 50 white chicks from a state university - do you really know that all fifty are both spoiled and entitled? Or are they just an easy mark, and it makes you and others feel better to shit on the white chicks.

And as far as the 'ridiculously expensive' line to make your point - I just used the Penn State online calculator, and it costs $5,000 less ($14,053 vs. $19,000) for a year on campus at University Park than it does at a California State University or University of California campus.

Edit - Holy shit - is it $14k a semester? And $28k a year for in-state?? It might be, as I read the calculator.

That is expensive for a state school.

 

Anti-firefighter, yet pro-sorority.

 

As I said, I am not defending these sorority chicks. But calling all 50 entitled and spoiled is a broad generalization.

 

The fact that they were all enthusiastic participants in the "haha let's make fun of Mexicans!!!!" picture provides compelling evidence.

 

The best part of this whole thing is that you know they were like, "Oh my gawd, this is sooo offensive" while giggling.
