Racist Parties Don’t Just Mock Black Folks
Oh, were the images of this party as tame as the one on the right, we would not be talking about this.
If you have read this blog, you will know that I have posted stories about racist college parties mocking black folks (see here and here). However, we are not the exclusive targets of these insults.
In California, Santa Clara University students are (and rightfully so) getting heat for a “South of the Border” party they threw there. This party, mocking Mexicans, featuring partygoers dressed as “Latino janitors, gardeners, gangbangers and pregnant homegirls.”
This party was brought to light when photos from partygoers were posted on the school newspaper’s web site. The school newspaper also reported on and posted photos from an earlier, “Fresh off the Boat” party thrown by students, which mocked immigrants.
However, there is a great irony in all of this. Santa Clara is a Jesuit university whose motto is “compassion, conscience and competence.”
Well, I think the compassion is sorely lacking here.
