Yale University Students & Halloween Costumes

[OneSent]

We really do live in a police state now, don't we?

The fun police.

The ride we are on now, the only conclusion is another void of dark ages. When acceptable racism like lower the bar is used to an extent that it impacts our sciences, medical and other professions we can only go backwards. When sjw types change colleges around to their way of thinking, we can only go backwards. When these same people are in actual companies and in roles such as HR we can only go backwards and it is already happening.

It's going to be a cross between Idiocracy's intelligence level and Orwell's totalitarianism. Can't get off the ride...

Maybe you should go protest their protest. It seems like a good vent for your outrage. You could demand they apologize for offending you.

[Ryme]

As soon as someone has to raise their voice, you know their argument has failed.

[Emageht Tsoluoy]

gotta make those 500 page regulatory documents with 900 signatories so that immature assholes don't wear blackface on halloween, yo.

[Dread Pirate Phayde]

These kids are going to be in charge some day. I might have to move elsewhere when that transition starts taking place. Bora bora looks better all the time.

You mean physically protest? The Internet is often adequate in terms of criticizing bad ideas and behavior. For example the girl in the video was screaming and dropping the f-bomb, that doesn't lead to a constructive conversation.

I think things will be good in terms of scientific advancement and economics. However, if that isn't the case, connecting civilizational decline to such clear changes in society will be quite easy, especially across a statistics-rich platform like the Internet.

Having read the email and the backlash, I give in to sentiments regarding PC culture...this sort of response is excessive.

"Who gets to decide what's offensive?"

"What hurts meeee"

This is Yale, this is prestigious school as far as I know. Very concerning.

I actually laughed out loud when she said that. Hilarious.

[Garnier Fructis]

There's real issues to protest, and then there's this shit.

I'm pretty sure these people are more 'offended' than the people that the costumes are supposedly offending.

[Deleted]

I feel sorry for the guy and for all the young, colourful kids. Is this really this wide-spread in US? If it is, I'd like to inform all sane people that there's still place in central/eastern Europe for you to migrate and live without all this daily "triggered/offended" stuff - you just have to settle for a little lower life standard and be able to learn the local language :^).

Man of principle attempts to explain that principle to a young narcissist. Does not succeed

Honestly, if this is what millenials do as they become adults, fuck my generation.

What a whiny entitled brat.

What a bunch of crybabies, holy fuck grow some balls.

[PC2]

Why not go in black face and really piss some people off? Or are you only willing to offend the smaller groups of people who you aren't as likely to run into?

How is black makeup offensive?

Should I be crying about white face depicted on primitives?

Not sure what you're trying to accomplish with your catty words, young lady.

[Underverse]

There's a difference between black face - a caricature of race, and, say, dressing up as an indian - which is a caricature of culture. How do people not see this?
