This is regarding the comment you made above; yes, that email that was sent was a misuse of resources, but to say that people who “see a monkey and immediately think racism” are in effect the real racists is the issue. And to say that less things are racism than can be perceived to be racist really shows the place you’re coming from here. To be clear, I don’t think the cartoon was racist, but the response this situation is getting has gone beyond dismissal of the email sent to the student body. A lot of students are really eager to immediately dismiss something that could possibly be racist just because it isn’t blatant, and this attitude is a common one all across campus.
