...insensitivity. That many students refuse to openly acknowledge potentially racial aspects to this discussion, and yet touch fleetingly on race when they poke fun at the culture of the party, highlights a subtle and unsettling tension. While none of us can say with certainty whether the police reaction was racist or whether Crime Mob’s song was one cause of the fighting, obsessive political correctness creates an atmosphere in which it is uncomfortable to directly engage racial questions, especially as they relate to our student community or our personal attitudes. We have been given an opportunity to break...
...swastika in 1945, yet neo-Nazis still fester in the far-right National Democratic Party. And we highly doubt that banning burning crosses would kill the Ku Klux Klan. Rather, these hate groups would find another symbol to abuse, or ignore the law altogether. It is unfortunate that racist incidents involved noose imagery have spiked in New York lately, but we cannot support banning an image.

...Watson-Crick nucleotide base pairing or otherwise—absurd. No matter how objectionable James Watson’s personal views are, they have little effect on the profound benefits his research has created for humanity. For that matter, it does not appear that Watson actually stands by his racist remarks. Shortly after the scandal broke, Watson told The Associated Press “I cannot understand how I could have said what I am quoted as having said. There is no scientific basis for such a belief.” The true danger of Watson’s insensitive...
