Take a look at this menu for tomorrow’s Black History Luncheon, which includes “Southern Fried Cajun Catfish,” “BBQ Pork Spare Ribs,” and “Southern Fried Chicken.”
HDH (Housing & Dining Services) isn’t racist, they’re just embracing diversity.
Or maybe it’s just okay because HDH supports sustainability and is a coercive state run monopoly that mandates that anyone who lives on campus MUST buy meal points.
Seriously though, all I can say is that I wish the hypocrisy would end. Racism must be defined as a superiority complex whereby people perceive themselves or their group as being superior to another group of people. However, those quick to shout “racist” need to understand that stereotypes, history, and humor should be taken in a context that is not necessarily racist but often a reflection of human conceptions or misconceptions. When you allow one group that you support to use the same stereotypes that you attack another group of people for mocking, all you do is reveal your own ignorance, bigotry, and hypocrisy.
