UC Racism

“Why can’t people be blind to the color of skin!?” This life long question was yet again brought up with the racial acts that surfaced its ugly face on various UC campuses around the state.
On Feb. 14 the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity group from the University of California San Diego (UCSD), organized a party named “Compton Cookout.” This event displayed racial stereotypical lifestyle of African-American. Foods served at the cookout were the notorious combo of fried chicken and watermelon.” Actions displayed at the event were derogatory.
On the campus of University of California Davis (UCD), the Jewish students were horrified to find swastikas carved into their dorm room. The doors near the campus’s Gay, Lesbian, and Transgender Resource Center were also filled with terms insulting the gay population.
These select events show us that our many people in our state are still ignorant. These racial acts still show the lack of unity amongst the people. The students on these and surround campuses are outraged. These universities should be a place too learn, for people to share there common goal, and tough out life together as one and not a place to feel insecure because of skin color. Perhaps America still has some racial healing to do. Even after segregation was outlawed in 1954, we still see today the obvious line between races.
