C.W. Post RA's Fired

Another ridiculous story of those within the majority being mistreated. Five Resident Assistants at the CW Post campus of Long Island University were fired on February 2nd for creating a video for class that depicted Muslim terrorists holding a rubber duckie hostage. Subsequently, they were fired from their jobs as RA's and threatened to be expelled from the university after a Muslim group on campus considered it "culturally insensitive." The administration obviously agreed.

My beef: Why has this happened? Film majors make a comedic short film for class on terrorism, should they have used Asian females to play the roles? Course not, they were used in the nail salon parody...

See what I mean? Why can't we keep our humor where it is. Why have we become so uptight for the sake of not offending anyone in any way what so ever. If one makes the argument that they should have taken into consideration the feelings of everyone, then no video is possible to make and they should eliminate interaction between all people.

Most of the lines used in their video came from "Team America: World Police," which is written by the creators of South Park. No one went after them for their movie. You know what? No one would go after a Muslim group if they made a video of White's playing bad cops, white collar criminals, war profiteers, etc...and they shouldn't be. Leave the students alone.

All in all, the five students are suing for their jobs back and $2.5 million in compensatory damages since they have been called racists, psychologically troubled and had their video compared to the 1998 dragging death of a black man in Texas. Like I said, ridiculous. They have the support of many at the university and will not be expelled. A judge has issued an order preventing any additional punishment on the students from the university and their attorney is confident in a successful outcome.
