"White Sh*tbags?"

Source: dailyevergreen

A 24-foot chain-link fence placed on the Glenn Terrell Mall on Nov. 2 by the WSU College Republicans has become something of a battleground in recent days.
…
Another assistant professor from the CES department, John Streamas, was reported as calling College Republicans members “white shitbags,” though it was not recorded on video. According to the Moscow-Pullman Daily News, Streamas admitted to using the phrase, but said it needed to be taken in the proper context.

“It was a dramatic demonstration to show people what the government wants to do,” said Kiley Smith, president of the College Republicans and a senior business major. “We were holding a positive demonstration.” Many students and faculty believed the demonstration was a negative attack against immigrants. “It made me angry,” Streamas said. “The fence is no different than a Confederate flag or a swastika.”

As MJ has asked repeatedly who is it that keeps making this a racial issue?

The Ace @ Polipundit sez..."Ah yes, because wanting to fence a border is the same as wanting to put Jews in ovens?"

A report into the incident said:

…the use of such language by a WSU professor, especially as with students as occurred in this case, is immature, intellectual unsophistiated and thoughtless conduct unbecoming any WSU employee and a member of the WSU faculty, in particular.”

Ah, institutions of higher drinking, is there anything they can't do? (other than teach, of course)
