Thank you, FuzzieAlum for the apology. I appreciate it. However, I don't think that you should feel responsible for apologizing for those members of WGLOs that are IGNORANT. THEY need to have their tails up in here apologizing... But, if they felt that they had something to be sorry about, they wouldn't have done it in the first place.
This behavior has to stop, yet I feel that it won't. The reason say this is because there are so little repercussions of their actions. For instance, as one school official states, "We don't want to make free speech martyrs out of stupid perpetrators," she said. "As offensive and insensitive as their actions were, they did not meet the muster of any university code of conduct violations."
What does it take to force these students to show a shred of decency and respect? White America is constantly shrugging these incidents off as "stupid" or labeling these perpetrators as uninformed or lacking in knowledge of diversity and multi-culturalism in our country.
It's sad that I have to constantly be reminded that there are White Americans out there that are actually interested in getting to know our cultures and becoming our friends. Then, I see images like that and wonder if things are ever going to change. It sets us back. I DO NOT believe that the national head of these organizations do anything or ever going to do anything. It sounds good on paper and in theory, but will it ever go into action?
