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

Another ridiculous politically-correct brouhaha has broken out at Dartmouth College, America’s most hopelessly and disturbingly fragile Ivy League school.

This time, the fracas is over a fundraiser for cardiac care that the Phi Delta Alpha fraternity and the Alpha Phi sorority had planned to jointly sponsor, reports Campus Reform.

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

If I lived anywhere near Dartmouth I’d be walking around with a bullhorn and yelling “Fee-esta!!” Just as loud as it would go. Once I was asked to stop I’d then post up signs saying “FIESTA!!!! (written by a white person)”. The stupidity out there is becoming absolutely crippling. Common sense is dead, I know i put flowers on its grave on Thomas Paine’s birthday. God help us all.

“a single student, junior Daniela Hernandez, was offended”

One person was “offended”. Oh no, we have to panic.

Does this mean only Irish-Americans can celebrate St Patrick’s Day?

"...white people don’t get to speak Spanish? Who knew?

It just takes one for a Ivy-Covered North Korea to cave. I'm waiting for a white to complain to Dartmouth they are offended the complainer is speaking English.

Another example of weak-kneed Academia caving into the most easily offended crowd.

Shocking!

Actually, teaching racism, victimhood and marxist activism Is what goes on in too many schools these days. She will get an A by some pinko marxist professor.

I guess 'Siesta' is out of the question.

Is the day coming, or is it already here when American Free Speech will be muffled by the fear one might say something “rasist” in common conversation like “ Good Morning”!

"I applied to Dartmouth Bound without a specific end goal in mind. I knew that Dartmouth was a great school but I did not know much more than what was listed on the brochures that were regularly mailed to my home. As a high school junior with little exposure to "the college life", I felt that visiting campus and committing myself to a program such as Dartmouth Bound would help demystify some of the myths and romanticized ideas that I had created of what a college experience should look like.  As I reflect on my Dartmouth Bound experience and realize how positive and effortless it truly was, I begin to wonder what great error it would have been to not have even applied. I would like to encourage students of all identifications and backgrounds to apply. Dartmouth is a diverse place that fosters community and opportunities. Give yourself the chance to preview the potential that you can achieve when becoming an undergraduate at Dartmouth, by giving Dartmouth Bound a chance!"

This subject has been around for awhile.

“Everyone is in favor of free speech. Hardly a day passes
without its being extolled, but some people's idea of it is
that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone
else says anything back, that is an outrage.”

― Winston Churchill

All bets would have been off if Dartmouth was celebrating Cinco de May at the time she visited there?
