CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Why? Us Paddies don't have thin skins. The worst that will happen is we will laugh at foolish Americans who seem to think putting green dye in American mass market beer will somehow make it drinkable. It won't it will still taste like water at best and other yellow stuff at worst.

Remember folks, if you aren't white and specifically not white make sure to not celebrate the holiday, the segregationist tell us that it's "appropriation".

Students create their own code of ethics and people are mad because they're enforcing those rules, how is this any different from a club with bylaws? If you don't like the rules, join the organization, and petition to change the bylaws. Simple.
The reality, people are mad because there is less tolerance for bigotry these days.

The students were elected to positions, there are bylaws, they violated those bylaws, there is a move to reprimand them for violating those bylaws. If you don't like the process, then run for positions to change the bylaws. No one is getting bullied into compliance.

Why is the term progressives used so many times in this thread? The progressive moment started in America a very long time ago and have been held by many distinguished men, one of which was Teddy Roosevelt.
This is the far left running amok with over sensitivity and offense by their side. These are nothing more than White Liberal kids who have absolutely no idea how to do anything constructive, looking to prove how sensitive they are by searching anything and everything to point to so they can claim they are making a difference.
I am a progressive and I shake my head at both the misuse of the word progressive and the misuse of young minds in making them paranoid to do or say anything that anyone can use to bury them.

So if the rule violated was against lets say, whites and blacks co-mingling would we still be seeing the above argument from you?
Most people aren't so puritanical and segregationist that they think wearing a sombrero is bigotry. I realize that to these people this will come as a shock, but in parts of the country which large hispanic populations you can buy sombreros. I know I was shocked too they don't even check your race before they let you buy it.
Not only that if you actually visit mexico, you can buy them there too, and they don't appear to care if you aren't hispanic when you buy them and wear them.
It's almost as if that they aren't as mentally infantile and culturally insecure as these bigots seem to think they are. It will come as a shock to many of them to learn that people in other countries don't need the "benevolent" protections of a culture their "defenders" don't know anything about and only care about when they can use them as a cudgel to virtue signal to others.

Good man.
Even so, I'm not sure the "no Irish" scene from Blazing Saddles would get through, these days, never mind the rest of the film (has it been banned yet?)

If you don't like the rules, then stage protests and sit-ins, kind of like what African Americans did during the Civil Rights Movement. If a college has these racist policies, then you alert the media and bring attention to the issue.
Oh, I get it, I was supposed to say that I don't like the rule and let me type furiously on my keyboard about racist colleges. Nah, if the college has racist policies and I am a student there, I'll be the first one out there with a sign or campaigning to get myself and like-minded people on the student council to change those archaic, racist rules.
Hehe, going out of your way to avoid the issue there? A sombrero by itself is not offensive, how it is used can be offensive. This may come as a shock to you, but perhaps you are not the one to dictate what people find offensive or not. Many Latino student organizations have a problem with how Mexicans are portrayed. You can argue the student council is going overboard and the situation could be handled differently, but you should not walk around complaining because there is now a large enough population that speaks out about a stereotype. As said earlier, just because you were unaware of the offense for a long time doesn't make it okay. No one is stopping you from saying or doing what you want, but don't expect others to sit back and ignore you.
What do you mean by segregationist? Most people are not segregationists, true, what does that have to do with this topic?
Mentally infantile because they consider it offensive? How are they bigots?
Do a survey and ask Mexicans if they find theme parties where people "dress up like Mexicans" donning pancho, sombreros and fake moustaches is offensive, insensitive, or a poor choice? Do they feel honored by these parties? Do you feel these parties are harmless fun or perpetuate a hurtful stereotype?
Until you have this information, it's not your place to say whether people should be offended. How very paternalistic of you.
