So we are all aware of the racism incident that occurred last week on campus. But what we aren't aware of is why it happened. Initially, I may have been naive, but I almost thought that it had to have been a joke. I don't see anyone that goes to Witt and has the morals to know better, would throw some racist comment around like that. It could be a similar situation to when a girl calls her friend a slut. Even though (being her BFF) she may KNOW that said "slut" in question has only kissed two boys and still clutches her v-card to her chest, but the term "slut" is still used. So like I said, I initially thought that this may have just been a joke.
But then as more people started to talk about it, I learned that the persons whose door this was posted on was a brand new student. Then I fell victim to the bandwagon, and was simply shocked and upset.
I would just like to think that people in this day and age, especially at a place like Wittenberg, know better and are more mature than that. However, I can't say I'm that shocked... I am surprised every day with something new about Wittenberg...
