Why do I even bother?/Interracial Dating shit in the Hilltop

[randomneses]

So today's Hilltop brought on another bucket of fail. This time in the "He Said, She said" section, in which a girl and a guy write their perspectives on a single topic. This issue...wait for it...INTERRACIAL DATING!

I'm pretty sure there were several times when I read the Hilltop and wondered what made it such an acclaimed newspaper.

The other articles on university, local, and national stuff is fine, but it's always the editorial stuff that catches my eye and sometimes brings on the fail.

The idea of being intimate with a descendant of the men who raped my female ancestors and made my male ancestors watch, just feels so disrespectful.

..... know what feels disrespectful? Making such a blanket assumption like that thinking that ALL white men raped YOUR descendant. That's like saying I hate Italians because they killed Jesus... :| I want to know how the hell this girl's in college. Seriously. Interracial dating? Here's my thing. I don't fucking care because it's all about levels of melanin in the skin. Not this pride shit. Ugh! Of course I'm dating Don Quixote/Don Juan/El Conquistador and I'm like... Super Irish... I find it funny.

Eh, there are tons of people in all sorts of college that say ignorant shit.

I can see how interracial dating can be a hot topic, and that some people date outside of their race or only date people of certain races for REALLY disgusting reasons. But her rational is just really WTF worthy.

Yeah, I've thankfully only ran into one or two at school but they were chewed out for it.

It's really not because... seriously... when do do you read this and go FUCK! THEY'RE RIGHT! WHY THE HELL HAVE I BEEN DATING MEN I LOVE?! I SHOULD BE DATING WITHIN MY RAAAAAAAAAACE! :| Yeah. That's smart...

sigh, more proof idiocy isn't rascist

And lol typical pro-newspaper of course, only giving two pretty one sided views.. was there like not another student around that didn't have "race" and "who your genes were presently being hosted by 300 years ago" at the top of their What to Look for in an SO list?

...=ducks in shame= WHY HILLTOP? WHY? THIS IS WHY I DON'T READ YOU DAILY. I CAN'T TAKE THE FAIL.

"But for me and my house, dating white may result in a fight." This I get though, if I brought a white guy home you wouldn't even believe the hell that would result from that, especially since I go to a HBCU. =sigh= Isn't love blind? Can't it be color blind too?

interracial relationships are WRONG. DISGUSTING. HORRIBLE. DISRESPECTFUL. ETC.

Actually, that picture SHOULD be illegal. No four people should be allowed to be that pretty all at once.
