Dartmouth of all places.






A sorority at Dartmouth College has canceled an annual Kentucky Derby-themed party in response to protesters who complained that basing a party on the popular horse race was racist.



Derby is racist

Protesters were upset/jealous because they don't have money to throw those kind of parties. Plain and simple.

This is painfully stupid. I hate SJWs and even more hatred to people that concede to their stupidity.

I guess baseball is racist too since it was invented before the civil war and primarily played by white folks.

KDE is still having the party, just with a Woodstock theme instead. Poors still not invited.

KDE vice president Nikol Oydanich said house members were convinced by critics that the party was racially offensive because it evoked the aesthetics of the plantation-era South.




ETA: I'm also going to guess that Dartmouth's KA chapter doesn't celebrate Old South...

"the first Kentucky Derby was actually held in 1875, ten years after the Civil War ended."

Article even points out that Kentucky Derby didn't start until 10 years after the Civil War.

That seems like a bit of a reach. Who has time to protest this kind of shite?

That's okay.

We don't want Northerners appropriating Southern culture, anyway, right?
