For some reason it seems like racist incidents on college campuses have peaked during the fall semester this year. There have been several blackface incidents, and other random racist happenings. Here are a few:<\/p>\n
1. American Indian students take on racism at Dartmouth<\/a>.<\/p>\n 2. NAACP issues statement<\/a> about recent racist incidents on college campuses. I think they need to add Trinity College,<\/a> Whitman,<\/a> and now Dartmouth<\/a> to the list of campuses mentioned in the article (Johns Hopkins, Texas A&M, Univ. Texas, Austin).<\/p>\n 3. Maybe the NAACP also needs to talk to the college republicans at Boston University, who feel the need to have a “Caucasian scholarship.”<\/a><\/p>\n 4. Next we have the University of Cincinnati, where racist fliers were delievered to the campus<\/a>. The UC administration seems to be taking the exact opposite of Whitman. When Whitman students showed up in blackface, the administration cancelled classes, according to some UC students the administration hasn’t said much at all about these fliers.<\/p>\n 5. Black students at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis got fed up with racism on campus and issued a list of demands<\/a>, to which white students and at least a few other racial minority students declared that they wanted their tuition money back. You can read the students grievances and demands here<\/a> (PDF). It is also interesting to see that a South Asian woman is leading the charge against the black students grievances.<\/a><\/p>\n 6. Racial slurs and religious<\/a> bigotry found on Pace University campuses.<\/p>\n 7. I already put up this story about a University of Michigan student who was attacked<\/a> on line for his opposition to an anti-affirmative action ballot iniative.<\/p>\n 8. Students in a multicultural dorm at Lehigh University find a dead animal’s head on their doorstep<\/a>.<\/p>\n 9. I also posted this incident earlier. The white University of Memphis fraternity members who called their fraternity brother’s black girlfriend a racial slur.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For some reason it seems like racist incidents on college campuses have peaked during the fall semester this year.
