Racism at University of Michigan

WASVI

Junior Member
On Thursday, September 15, two Asian American students were verbally and
physically assaulted by two other students at the University of Michigan.
The extent of the alleged assault included urination, thrown objects, and
racial obscenities.

More details can be read at:
http://www.michigandaily.com/vnews/display.v/ART/2005/09/21/4330f61d9f9f0

-- please sign the letter to University administrators at:
http://www.petitiononline.com/aanohate/petition.html --

Student at the University are organizing to show their support for the
victims and to urge the University to take swift and just action if the
charged students are found guilty of their alleged crimes.

** Please read and sign the letter to University administrators at:
http://www.petitiononline.com/aanohate/petition.html

And please create awareness of this crime through dialogue and distribution
of this message.

Together, we can stop the hate.
 
Knowing how college students are, I highly doubt this was a hate crime. Here's what probably happened:

Kids got piss drunk in their apartment. Kid is too lazy to go to the bathroom so decides to piss out the window. Notices some people walking by and decides to let loose. People get urinated on, start talking back. Arrogant drunk kid uses racial slurs because they're a different race. If they were the same race, they probably would've used obsceneties not-relating to race, because if they did use racial slurs, they'd be insulting themselves also.
 
i think the petition is a little unecessary. UofM (and ann arbor in general) is one of the most liberal places in the country. i would have to assume that they have zero tolerance for this sort of thing...if it was truly racially motivated.
 
as an asian american student on campus, i say don't beleive everything you read in the paper

they made the story much bigger than it was. drunk people do stupid stuff. sure race was a factor but it's not a hate crime

Yes it does matter because it probably wasn't a hate crime, and probably wasn't racially motivated. It was just two morons pissing on a random passer-by.

When did I ever say that? How about you read the article, and read the petition, and see why it definitely does matter if it's a hate crime.

Some people here are just fvcking dense...:roll:
