Racial dispute at beloved bakery roils liberal college town in Ohio
The three students were arrested after punching and kicking the white shopkeeper. The 18- and 19-year-old students said that they were racially profiled and that their only crime was trying to buy alcohol with fake identification; the shopkeeper, Allyn Gibson, said the students attacked him after he caught them trying to steal bottles of wine.
The day after the arrests, hundreds of students protested outside the bakery. Members of Oberlin's student senate published a resolution saying Gibson's had "a history of racial profiling and discriminatory treatment."
Few colleges put the "liberal" into "liberal arts" more than Oberlin, which in the early 1800s became the first in the country to regularly admit women and minorities. But it also more recently has become, for conservatives, a symbol of political correctness gone awry and entitled youth.
News articles in 2015 quoted students decrying the school dining hall's sushi and Vietnamese banh mi sandwiches as cultural appropriation. The divisive, voice-of-a-generation actress Lena Dunham, famously a 2008 Oberlin alumna, was quoted in Food & Wine magazine as saying, "The press reported it as, 'How crazy are Oberlin kids?' But to me, it was actually, 'Right on.'"

So we get told we must accept traits of other cultures of we are racist, as soon as we accept some of these traits we get called racist for doing so. Getting more and more obvious that as a white male the only way to not be racist or sexist is to kill yourself. Even then I suppose you better be careful not to drink hemlock, stab yourself in the gut, or starve yourself to death as you might offend Greeks, Japanese, or Tibetans.

To be oneself, and unafraid whether right or wrong, is more admirable than the easy cowardice of surrender to conformity

I live in a place where holding the door open for someone at a store is sexist for not believing in them to open their own door, not going to risk offending people who think I'm offensive to Greeks. Plus I was lazy and it gave me an easy example, I could have also gone with sacrifice to offend those of Aztec origins, mumification to offend the British, or blowing myself up with fertilizer to offend people from Oklahoma.
I am not sure how to culturually appropriate suicide of sub-saharan africans, mostly I just see them beating other people to death or putting them in a car tire filled with gasoline and igniting it. I guess gays in the arab lands "like" to "suicide" themselves off of tall buildings, so there is that.

That you feel you've been wronged is the reality of our situation. You have been wronged! By the filthy jews, the mongrel races and the cradle-to-grave propaganda they've heaped upon you.
These inferior races seek domination over the Aryan master race and must be crushed mercilessly.
Do not kill yourself brother. Sire many children with Aryan woman and kill all the mongrels, their filthy jew overlords and the traitorous Aryans who support the desecration and diminishment of Aryan supremacy!

We must stamp out the scourge of the mongrels (it's clear they are evil, corrupt and inferior just from this incident) and filthy jews who poison our culture and our bodies.
