The P.C. battles that have raged in college campuses for decades were not really a big deal at my college, perhaps because the campus was so apolitical otherwise. But you can only keep the wider world at bay for a while:
Perched on a hill in North Baltimore, the Johns Hopkins University's Homewood campus is a beacon of wealth and prestige, attracting some of the finest students and faculty in the world.[...]
Like many other institutions of higher learning across the country, Hopkins has periodically had to struggle with race relations and its sometimes antagonistic relationship with the city of Baltimore.
Both relationships were in the limelight last week after a dispute fueled by a Sigma Chi fraternity party Oct. 28 that was advertised as "Halloween in the Hood."
The invitation, posted on the Facebook Web site, described Baltimore as "the HIV pit" and encouraged attendees to wear "regional clothing from our locale" such as "bling bling ice ice, grills" and "hoochie hoops."
[...]
Over the years, targets of protests have included a film club showing of Coonskin, a 1975 animated film with stereotypical characters and the university's investment in companies that did business with the apartheid government of South Africa. To dramatize the substandard living conditions in black townships in South Africa, protesters built a shantytown in the lower quad, but it was burned down by members of a fraternity.
[...]
Scott Ladd, a junior, described Baltimore as a "terrible city," pointing to the HIV rate, crime, poverty and abandoned properties as examples.
"A lot of the references made in the invitation ... are statistically proven," he said. "Baltimore is one of the worst cities. And then it's majority black, so people associate these two things. It's human nature."
How bad is this? Probably pretty bad, considering that most Hopkins students have a very low view of the city where they live and they express that view in some fairly frank racial terms because the school has so few African-Americans (a bit over 5 percent) to watch their mouths in front of.
This whole mess reminds me of an incident from my freshman year, many years ago. A frat handed out this flyer for a party:
Does this offend Japanese people? WWII veterans? Perhaps the better question is who this doesn't offend. These flyers were all over campus in the days before the party, and nobody complained. I kept it because its sheer audacity amazed me. Who on earth thought this was acceptable? It just goes to show that sometimes the PC protestors have it right sometimes.
