Dartmouths' offensive behavior at Dartmouth-Harvard squash game

[BCEagle91]

<br>

<p>I don’t think you’ve been on the Dartmouth campus lately. The student body would
appear at a casual glance to be roughly 50% “people of color.” There are plenty of
Jews, too, you know. I also wonder if you’ve strolled around Harvard Square lately.
The racial makeup there would appear to be very much the same as in Hanover.</p>

<br>

<p>They have panhandlers at the subway stop in Hanover? My comments were on the makeup
of the local population.</p>

<br>

<p>I also think that you aren’t aware that according to the commentary on this issue
in Boston.com the heckling at events such as Harvard hockey games is exactly like
that at the infamous squash match. But of course the hecklers are masked by a
larger crowd, and the Boston Globe, aka the Harvard House Organ, isn’t going to
report on it because according to those who frequent such events it is expected
in that milieu. It is not expected at a squash match.</p>

<br>

<p>Perhaps you could provide a few examples of this racist heckling.</p>

<br>

<p>And frankly, the idea that the minority population of the Boston area has any
idea what goes on at Harvard squash matches is pretty ridiculous.</p>

<br>

<p>Strawman. Would the Professor Gates incident play out in Hanover as it did in
Cambridge?</p>

<br>

<p>I am bemused by the dredging up of instances of apparent racism on the part of
Dartmouth Review-related people 20 or more years ago.</p>

<br>

<p>It’s odd that you find the effects of racism amusing.</p>

<br>

<p>On the other hand, the lingering presence–if it exists-- of that strain at D
is sure to please Thomas Sowell and the other authors of “Finding the Right
College,” not to mention our very own CC right wingers who claim that
everyone else is too sensitive.</p>

<br>

<p>It’s easy to be insensitive when it happens to someone else.</p>
