Strength! Diversity Is Also…The Incredible UCSD Hate Crime Hoax
By Ellison Lodge

There’s a textbook response to a Hate Crime Hoax: the Main Stream Media creates a circus, with politicians, administrators, and left wing students demanding investigations, sensitivity training, and swift justice to the perpetrator of the terrible crime. But when it turns out that a left wing and/or minority student is actually responsible, then they tuck a brief story on page 12 and never speak of it again.

We can only wish for such a textbook response at University of California at San Diego, which is going through what dozens of outlets are calling "a string of racist incidents". As so often, they have a pesky habit of being committed by minorities. But despite these revelations, administrators, politicians, the media, and minority students continue with their hysterics as if they were committed by white students.

The first outbreak of insensitivity was the "Compton Cookout" held on February 15, allegedly by UCSD’s Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity. The cookout was a politically incorrect party where attendees—many of whom were minorities—ate watermelon and fried chicken, drank malt liquor, and listened to rap music. Some of the attendees wore black face.

Speaker-elect of the State Assembly John A. Pérez, Speaker Karen Bass, various members of "Asian Pacific Islander, Black, Latino, LGBT and Women’s caucuses," and a variety of other professional grievance organizations at the State Capital to call for a lynch mob. Speaker pro Tempore Isadore Hall, III, who represents Compton, demanded that

"university officials should act swiftly to sanction all responsible parties including the revocation of fraternity or sorority charters, the full repayment of any public funds used to support these organizations and the individual suspension or expulsion of any student found responsible for planning or participating in this act of hate."

Left wing professors held teach-ins on racism. But this was not enough for the minority students, who walked out. Eritrean-America Black Student Union vice chairman Fnann Keflezighi explained that the teach-in "would make us quiet." The BSU responded by holding protests with a list of 32 demands that would for all practical purposes put them in charge of the school. Among them:

"We demand the University to charge a Task Force to create the plan for an African-American Resource Center on Campus in two years to provide a safe space for the African-American community
“We demand that Chancellor Fox create an Office for Diversity Affairs from her administration instead of a part-time position with a title.
“We demand the programs and departments such as OASIS, Campus Community Centers, Ethnic Studies, Critical Gender Studies, CLAH, and African American Studies Minor amongst others continue to have solid funding for the work they do in retaining African American students and educating the campus as a whole."
You get the idea.

Miss Keflezighi’s claim that the UCSD administration’s holding special events specifically to address the concerns of Black Student Union was trying to make them “quietâ€

Thank you for the post I am replying to. I had not heard one word of this in the press here in San Diego. I will write an article for the Examiner about it.
