Stevenson College is apologizing to its students for serving Mexican food during "Intergalactic" night.
In a letter sent out to students, the college apologized for having "a Mexican food buffet," while also featuring spaceships and aliens. The college received complaints saying the combination was racist because of the association between Mexicans and illegal immigrants.
"We would never want to make a connection between individuals of Latino heritage or undocumented students and "aliens" and I am so sorry that our College Night appeared to do exactly that," wrote Carolyn Golz, who had taken this picture of the activities before the complaints:
After receiving complaints, Dr. Golz said that the event "demonstrated a cultural insensitivity on the part of the program planners and, though it was an unintentional mistake, I recognize that this incident caused harm within our community and negatively impacted students."
As a result, Dr. Golz "will require cultural competence training for Programs staff, in addition to implementing mechanisms for future program planning that will ensure college programs are culturally sensitive and inclusive."

In space, no one can hear you fart.
You win.
I had to read this article to figure out the connection between Sci-fi and Mexican food.
What waz the problem?
The food was not made of real Mexicans?
I don’t get it.
WTF??? AND you know damn good and well that if the college had announced that they WERE NOT going to serve mexican food during scifi nite because of the ridiculous possibility of “associating” aliens and aliens, they’d be accused of racism also.
solution? quit serving any food at all or quit showing movies.
Who the f**k would actually complained about this?????
FU Stevenson College
Getting offended for the sake of getting offended is no way to go through life.
I didn’t get the relation between the mexiclowns and Intergalactic. Seriously. It too me a couple of minutes to read the article and now I know why the leftards get easily offended.
They see racism in every iota of their visual spectrum. I drive a white F150 and 5 years from now, I,m sure I’ll get a ticket for being double-racist.
Liberals are insane and racist.
This is a form of schizophrenia.
I wonder if this college has an “Absorption Chamber” as depicted in the Star Trek TOS episode “Return of the Archons”, so everyone can be part of “The Body”, subservient to Landru?
Many stand up comedians will not do College Campi any more because the students are so intolerant of everything and can see humor in nothing
I am offended by that flying saucer. As an ambassador from Zeta Reticuli B, I resent people thinking we all travel around in saucers. That is racist.
Nicely expressed...
Intergalactic Night?
Sounds like an Activity for Third Graders, not College Students.
Would it be racist if you get suspicious whenever you spot a Middle Eastern looking individual walking out of a Home Depot with bags of fertilizer? Would.it be homophobic to snicker under your breath if you stop an effeminate looking guy buying hampsters a a pet store?
Goofy. Just f*%#@!g goofy.
You mean, of course:
Space tacos
Interplanetary burritos
Extraterrestrial frijoles
Galactic arroz y tortillas
And don’t forget Satellite salsa & Suborbital queso.
