I think you might be a little confused about exactly what our philosophy is 'round these parts.

Step back off the ledge, dude. There's probably a way of expressing yourself (see: humor) that doesn't involve sustaining massive head trauma. I couldn't disagree with your take on the situation more, Tseren. Please take a bemused look at this situation, and don't turn it into a manufactured outrage.

And even while Pollack attempts to defend the article, Ole Dirty has decided to remove the article from the site. Try using the link above and you will be pleasantly surprised.

We’ve been together for so very long
But now things are changing, oh I wonder what’s wrong?
Seems you don’t want me around
The passion is gone and the jungle fever’s died down

I guess I lost a little bit of self-esteem
That time that you made it with every Latino you’d seen
You used to think it was nice
Now you tell all your friends that I’m hung like Asian mice.

Oh, why did you disconnect the breaks in my car?
That kind of thing is hard to ignore
Got a funny feeling you don’t like me for my race anymore

I knew that we were having problems when
I saw you blowin’ that Indian guy again
You’re still the light of my life
Oh darling, I’m beggin’, won’t you be my mixed coupled wife?

You know, I even think it’s kinda cute the way
You bang a different black guy each and every day
I still remember the way that you laughed
When you made me watch those Japanese take pix of your gash

Oh, if you don’t mind me asking, what’s this travel brochure
Doing in my underwear drawer?
Sometime I get to thinking you don’t love me for my race any more

You said I don’t know how to cook on the barbecue grill
That there’s this Texas redneck that can give you your fill
You set my house on fire
Then hopped in that low-rider and squealed you tires

Oh, you think that I’m ugly and you say that I’m cheap
I don’t want to know what you were doing with that farmer and his sheep
You gave that Iraqi guy head
Then you left an IED right beside my bed

Oh, you know this really isn’t like you at all
You never acted this way before
Honey, something tells me you don’t love me any more, oh no no
Got a funny feeling you don’t love me anymore (because you’re over the novelty of dating outside your race)

Bias Response Team? It's interesting that as well-equiped to handle racial prejudice as our University is, that the only substantive response to the piece in the Emerald is from a "University student." Then again, I guess I judge all this from the "what would be happening right now if the Commentator had published this crap" perspective. Is there any word yet about how MCC/BSU is taking this?
