Sometimes I get really angry about the fact that my parents and I are giving suny brockport thousands of dollars. Its amazing that in the year 2006 at this self proclaimed "liberal university" the schools administrators are so outwardly biased against any and all minority groups on campus. I can't imagine what it would feel like being homosexual here, let alone being african american, hispanic, or worse, one of the french foreign exchange students who get harassed on a daily basis. Pretty much everyone else on campus is white and catholic and therefore conservative and unwilling to "tolerate" anyone that doesn’t fit into that box.
I mean come on, if it aint’ white, it aint’ right.
I really doubt that anyone from my building who actually signed that petition to put down the drag show has ever even gone to one, let alone has any idea what one actually consists of. They probably heard from mommy and daddy that it’s some unholy brothel with stripping and sex toys galore, when in reality it would be 5 to 10 of there class mates dressing up and singing some songs.
But of corse the debauchery that goes on at the local frat houses every weekend is fine! You know, gang rape and drugging is one thing, but when it comes to gays (gasp!), now that’s just not right!!! And the utter stupidity of those 75 morons from my building isn't even what bothers me that most, its that fact that the student activity board members actually took them seriously, calling them “a true representation of the student body”. Um, I don't know if I'm missing something here, but in my eyes all white, all freshman, and almost all male doesn’t even come close to representing the attitudes of everyone on campus. Did even one off campus student sign that petition. No! Did even one minority sign it. No! Did one homosexual sign it. No! Yet despite all of this, the student activity board still decided to cut the drag show budget almost in half. Awesome Brockport! Way to alienate a few more students, and make them feel even less at home on campus then they’ve undoubtedly felt since the moment they stepped on it.
