Political correctness is nothing less than thinly veiled tyranny.
College Apologizes for Serving Mexican Food During Sci-Fi Event
Stevenson College is apologizing to its students for serving Mexican food during “Intergalactic” night.
In a letter sent out to students, the college apologized for having “a Mexican food buffet,” while also featuring spaceships and aliens. The college received complaints saying the combination was racist because of the association between Mexicans and illegal immigrants.
“We would never want to make a connection between individuals of Latino heritage or undocumented students and “aliens” and I am so sorry that our College Night appeared to do exactly that,” wrote Carolyn Golz who had taken this picture of the activities before the complaints:
After receiving complaints, Dr. Golz said that the event “demonstrated a cultural insensitivity on the part of the program planners and, though it was an unintentional mistake, I recognize that this incident caused harm within our community and negatively impacted students.”

Too bad neither "Latino" nor "alien" is a race. This is the price of playing loosely with labels. And in reality, the only entity that even mentioned "race" was the author of this blog.
