What happens when a world becomes so PC (politically correct) that even symbols created to break down barriers come under fire? Well, we have 65 members of the PC police saying they’re offended that their nationality is represented on the Writing on the Wall. Besides the wall having the word Cuban, it also features “Jap,” “Nigger” and other racial epithets. What annoys me about these people is that they totally ignore the fact that the wall represents offensive phrases and words used against someone.

At the end of the week, when the wall is torn down, it is a symbol of the breaking down of barriers. Besides the fact that the PC police totally miss the point of the wall, they have the audacity to create a Facebook group. I mean, come on. I am about as liberal as they come, but I am sick and tired of people complaining about every single event on campus. Or, as Fannie Lou Hamer would say, “I am sick and tired of being sick and tired.” All I have to say to the PC police, who are offended, is this: If you hate it so much, you should show up at the end of the week when they tear down the wall. Duh! That was the point. Argh.
