It’s Official: At Dartmouth, The Word ‘Fiesta’ Is Racist And White People Can’t Use It
Daily Caller ^ | 4-26-2014 | Eric Owens

Problems arose because a single student, junior Daniela Hernandez, was offended by the party’s theme of “Phiesta.”

As a result, the soiree, which was scheduled for Saturday, has been canceled by the presidents of the respective Greek organizations.

Phi Delt president Taylor Catchcart explained why the Greek organizations folded.

“We felt that the possibility of offending even one member of the Dartmouth community was not worth the potential benefits of having the fundraiser,” he said.

If we were being invaded by Mexicans who looked like this, I'd be a coyote and carry them across in sedan chairs.

I am happy for that policy. It just helps me to know they would NEVER allow anyone to offend a Christian.

Is it offensive to eat at a Fiesta Burrito (if yes, is take-out OK)?

I'm Scottish and I am not offended by Shamrock Shakes, in fact, quite the opposite. I'm mad they only make them one month out of the year.

"We felt that the possibility of offending even one member of the Dartmouth community was not worth the potential benefits..."

Sounds like a great way to shut down discussion of any topic at Dartmouth.

Probably not an issue since they specified the “Dartmouth community”.

Well we could also ponder the implications if you order one at a drive through in a Ford Fiesta?

This is interesting. I read a little closer the statement made by Taylor Catchcart. “We felt that the possibility of offending even one member of the Dartmouth community was not worth the potential benefits of having the fundraiser.” Taylor Catchcart is also President of the Editorial Board at the Dartmouth Review, which is the “notorious” conservative newspaper at Dartmouth.

He employed the liberal orthodoxy of fear of offending anyone to cancel the event. But its a setup. He’s going out of his way to prove how absurd that particular part of the liberal mindset is.

Very nicely played. This should be fun to watch.
