Your Morning Rage

Something else we might want to talk about at the next meeting: Chris Yonker’s gratuitous use of racism in his column for The Post. Like this, from last week’s column:

We have tried everything to keep these crashers [undocumented immigrants] out but they keep sneaking in. They tunnel under our walls, travel in makeshift rafts across the waters and use fake IDs to get in.

And once they get in, these party crashers are bringing down the party. Jobs that once belonged to loyal, hardworking Americans now belong to this scum.

Or this, from today’s column:

It has been but three days since the anniversary [of 9/11] and already the event has likely flown from the minds of many students here at Ohio University. Only 2,191 days since the event itself and most minds in Athens are likely thinking about the weekend’s parties where they will consume an abhorrent amount of alcohol.

What party you should be thinking about is a little-known event where several Pakistanis, Arabs and Saudis are soberly talking about their next plot.

Ashley Diaz, president of the Latino Student Union, has a letter in The Post today calling for Yonker to be fired. I’d imagine there will be more outrage from Arab and Muslim students after today’s column.
