What the helllo!!!!!!

quote:

A group of students at Louisiana State University is now demanding that the school eliminate its 122-year-old tiger mascot, because the animal represents “white privilege” and “racism.”
A change.org petition, entitled “Change the Racist Mascot of LSU!,” demands that the school take action to dump the tiger mascot because it was named “during the height of Jim Crow South.”

LSU named the tiger as its mascot back in 1895, taking the symbol from one of the state’s hardest fighting civil war battalions known as the “Louisiana Tigers.”



I feel for you LSU

The more this circulates, the more likely the nuts get their way. Take this crap down.

I agree that Mike is racist.

We choose a bengal tiger all the time. Siberians, South Chinese, Malayans, Indo-Chinese, or Sumatran tigers need not apply?

And while we're at, what's wrong with a white tiger?! Must they always be orange?

And don't get me started on the misogynistic aspects of all male tigers!
