Every year across the nation, several Pi Beta Phi sorority chapters host all-you-can-eat “Pi Phiesta” taco bar fundraisers at their respective campuses to raise money for charity.

But that longstanding tradition, typically held around Cinco de Mayo, is in jeopardy.

In the past few weeks, pressure from a handful of Latino students at two high-profile universities who complained the events are offensive prompted dramatic changes to two “Pi Phiesta” fundraisers.

At Dartmouth College, the fundraiser was cancelled outright, and at Stanford University, the sorority girls scrapped their Mexican themed “Pi Phiesta” for a summery, ocean-themed one, although they still served tacos.

This is just so stupid that I'm not even going to entertain this....:rolleyes:
 
Thank you, Dartmouth College!

Finally, somebody has the courage to speak out on this travesty. We can't allow this kind-of prejudice anymore. It's time to EVOLVE people.

For example, explain burgers to me? How are they not racist?

Do you know what burgers are cooked on? A grill.

You know what's associated with grills? Charcoal.

Charcoal is black, do you know what else is black? Black people.

We eat burgers. We're saying it's okay to eat black people.

Racist bastards.
 
I um.. What? How the hell can Cinco De Mayo be in jeopardy cause of this? How stupid.
