There's a new kind of racism out there. There's a racism that's excused as politically correct, but, in fact, goes further to stereotype a group than msot other racist agendas. It's the racism of offended overreaction. An example cropped up at the University of Arizona, where for many years the students threw frisbees in the air upon graduating so as not to lose their mortar boards. A few years ago the tradition changed, due to pain from being hit by a frisbee. Tortillas were thrown in celebration of the admirable acheivement of graduating. The President of the school, however, has taken it upon himself to decide that the Hispanic race is offended by this and has outlawed the practice. This school president is not hispanic. He sought very little input from Hispanic students or other members of the community. He simply decided that they were offended whether they like it or not. He's a racist, and, surprise, he's a liberal.
