How can students "demand" anything other than constitutional protections? Isn't it a privilege to be able to attend a university?
"I demand you to stop posting."

See one can demand it, but that doesn't mean it has any merit.

People blame this on Millennials, but the youngest Millennials are already in their 20s.


I keep trying to tell you guys but no one listens.

The generation that really fricked up their kids was Generation X.

They gave birth and reared gen y and Millennials.

I get what you are saying. How about this link? Looks like the school newspaper.

Daily Bruin

quote:

The Afrikan Student Union called on UCLA to create a Black Resource Center and a $40 million endowment to address African-American underrepresentation on campus in a list of demands it released Thursday. Fourth-year philosophy and African American Studies student and Afrikan Student Union Chair Alicia Frison said the group worked on the demands throughout the year and decided to release the list now in response to recent incidents affecting African-American students. “This year will be the 51st year the Afrikan Student Union is on campus,” ASU wrote in a statement, “however, 50 years later we are struggling with many of the same issues as our ancestors and elders dealt with in 1966. This is unacceptable.” There are 1,485 African-American undergraduate students at UCLA, which is 4.8 percent of the undergraduate population.

Why do I have the feeling that a lot of these "demanders" were given a spot at UCLA simply BECAUSE they were Americans of African heritage? Give an inch, take a mile. NEVER give an inch, make them earn it.

The boomers were really hard on their kids, so Gen X decided to go soft on Millennials. Gen Z was raised by Gen Y. Gen Z is the group calling for safe spaces and all this bs on college campuses. This never happened when I was in school (graduated 2014).

Black students at UCLA are consistently made the targets of racist attacks by fellow students, faculty, and administration,” the Afrikan Student Union writes in their eight-point ultimatum. “Unfortunately, on April 30, 2017, a photo was released depicting the USAC [student government] President holding gang signs.”

It seems the black group is saying that only black people are associated with gangs. That's pretty racist

Another example of racism given by the ASU was a “Kanye Western” theme party held in 2015 during which attendees dressed in baggy clothes or wore padded bottoms to look like Kim Kardashian.


Da Fuq? This is intolerance? Isn't Kardashian Armenian? Do blacks own big bootys (C). Is there a patent?

Plus, the demands are just going to hurt Asians. They are the majority population at UCLA.
