Why would liberal students cry “racism” when their college served Mexican food during Sci-Fi Night? Stevenson College in California is apologizing for their insensitivity after such an incident this week. Because obviously if you’re talking about aliens and space, and serving Mexican food, your intent is to slam illegal immigrants. Right?
Stevenson College, part of the University of California, Santa Cruz, is apologizing to its students for serving Mexican food during “Intergalactic” night.
In a letter sent out to students, the college apologized for having “a Mexican food buffet,” while also featuring spaceships and aliens. The college received complaints saying the combination was racist because of the association between Mexicans and illegal immigrants.
“We would never want to make a connection between individuals of Latino heritage or undocumented students and “aliens” and I am so sorry that our College Night appeared to do exactly that,” wrote Carolyn Golz.
After receiving complaints, Dr. Golz said that the event “demonstrated a cultural insensitivity on the part of the program planners and, though it was an unintentional mistake, I recognize that this incident caused harm within our community and negatively impacted students.”
As a result, Dr. Golz “will require cultural competence training for Programs staff, in addition to implementing mechanisms for future program planning that will ensure college programs are culturally sensitive and inclusive.”

So it would be OK if it was an Italian buffet? Some people take politically correct too far.
We are in serious trouble in this country if things don't change radically with this politically correct BS! These collage morons will be holding political office someday and we all will be in for a world of S***!
You know, there have been a lot of "racist" calls put out there lately, some legit and some not so legit. This one truly confuses me. I don't understand how serving Mexican food at a Sci-fy dinner is considered racist. Is it the fact that the food was Mexican? I love tacos myself, never considered them a "racist trigger". Do these people not know that if they had been served "American Southern Style" food there is a chance a Latino participated in its' preparation. And no, I am not trying to use that as a racist trigger either. It is just that there are a lot of jobs out there now that "Americans" don't want to do, such as the food industry, from the field to the table, because of the low pay.
I don't know and didn't mean to get into a long winded discussion, I just don't see the racism in this incident? The school said it was the issue between Mexicans and illegal aliens. Maybe the space ships on the table were racist to the aliens.
LOL this made my day! I'm sure they didn't mean to make it a racist themed night. But you know dam well someone is smiling today. This reminds me of a movie called PCU great movie in its time.
We are at the end times.
maybe they just wanted a taco, geez
I hope there wasn't green cheese served because the moon is sci-fi and its made out of green cheese.
OH PLEASE!!!!!!!!
Green cheese would be racist to people from Wisconsin who might have attended. LOL!
Screw them What the is going on...these people are HERE ILLEGALLY..taking food medicine and education from US kids..this is frigging madness....
