Look, I'm not the least bit racist, I want to point that out up front because what I'm going to write is controversial. I don't really get the criticism. So, from the picture her criticism is that white preppy kids in an expensive schools aspire to go to Yale and tend to dress academic. I think someone else already pointed out that Hockey is pretty much a working man's sport, so it would have made more sense for her to hold a Lacrosse stick--that's as preppy as it gets in the sports world. The irony is that she looks pretty good in what she is wearing; she pretty much fits right in that attire. I honestly wish more young people of any race would dress that way.

The whole thing is quite silly. Guess maybe it automatically translates as white based on how some grow up. But there were people of all backgrounds who dressed preppy...
So then if a white student president had been mocking black students they should also have freedom of speech and be able to continue unabated. I'm sure you'd agree with that. Correct?
I don't know what the poster you directed this comment/question to will think, but here is my perspective.
I have no issue with anyone expressing dislike or even contempt for others, so long as it is not a call to violence or to actively discriminate against them. However we know in most cases, certain groups are considered off limits by being a PC protected group(blacks, homos, etc.).
So even though those who make comments about those type of groups, even sweeping generalizations, should not be disciplined for their view or speech(provided it does not cross the aforementioned line). The same should be true of minorities and other protected groups who wish to deride white people or as some put it, the white power structure.
I wind up having a problem when hypocrisy gets involved to where identical things can be said by different sides of the isle, yet only one is disciplined or vilified for it.
I guess that school was smarter than the entire rest of the country.... we shiould have ousted our first black president to, the same way this school did.
Not because they're black, but because they're both morons.
This was her problem. If you're elected Student Body President, you're elected to represent everybody on campus, not just the people you like and see eye-to-eye with. That she was openly bi ased against a large chunk of the student body and saw no problem with speaks volumes about her mindset.
Just like the President OTUS, right?
unfortunately Obama only plays to his "side" and has alienated half the country.
You can see where this student learned that behavior. In fact, we see it every day now. He has set a horrible example as a leader for our kids and our country. Its despicable
