Just take a look at this article by Xiaochen Su '10 from the Yale Daily News. In this article, he blames a decrease in US living standards on immigrants and the poor, deplores government resources for the disadvantaged, and proposes the enactment of "child tax credits" and "entrance fees" for poor parents and immigrants.

Su, if your piece is in some way a satire of Jonathan Swift's A Modest Proposal, I hope you will realize that putting it in your school newspaper is totally ridiculous on any day other than April Fools. And if your piece was never intended as satire... well, good luck with your internalized self-hate issues.

Congratulations for being the first person in the APA Hall of Shame from the Ivy League. It's important to make this point because, evidently, messed up thinking escapes no one. Even people who will one day lead our society, as scary as that sounds.

(Can we say something about the fact that the YDN even let this be published?)

This time from the Spec website (reader comments), which I find myself reading now with more regularity.

Well, I'm an asian student. I'm amazed that a student belongs to Black Student Organization crying racism. You put yourself in race category. So far I haven't seen White Student Organization, American White Diver, White Causus etc. Can you just mingle in the organization such as Colorbind Diver, Colorblind Causus, Colorblind Student Organization. Why don't you all crying minorities do as I do....I went camping with my indian and black friends, went biking with my russian friend etc....you guys are hipocrits.

I wish I had harsher language with which to condemn your attitude and your identification with this viewpoint as an Asian student (one who apparently can't use spell/grammar check, much less express a decent opinion.)

You deserve a special honor in the APA Hall of Shame.

What can we Asians say? Typical white NYPD cops.

As I like to say, "when a NYPD cop gets hurt/killed, I ain't shedding no tears".

Wow.

The purpose of racial justice is not so that we can continue holding on to an us-versus-them mentality - the type of mentality that perpetuates racial hatred all over the globe, generation after generation. Solidarity does not make everyone else enemies.

So for this, "Anonymous", you currently hold the Worst Comment title in our APA Hall of Shame... Congratulations.

Let us ponder this deep, insightful question as I go punch someone.
