The University of Minnesota (Duh-UM) has experienced protests in the past few weeks over campus diversity, Fox News and AP have reported. The school announced that they will be somewhat less vague when sending out alerts dealing with descriptions of suspects of serious crimes.
Pamela Wheelock, Duh-UM's vice principal said told The Star Tribune that the suspect's description will only be given in cases with "sufficient detail that would help identify a specific individual or group," or, in other words, we really don't want to catch the person unless he or she has killed someone, or whatever else we deem as "serious."
"Unless we have a sufficiency of information, we're not actually going to use any suspect information." Whatever that "sufficiency of information" entails is a mystery.
So if say, a man with a beard, dyed with henna, and who looks Middle Eastern, robs the campus deli, the report of his description might be: "A person, approximately 5 feet 10 inches tall, wearing black shoes and a brown jacket, was seen running across the quad."
Of course, if the man wore a Jewish skull cap, known as a yarmulke, instead of the henna-dyed beard, the description might be: "A light-skin Jew, with a long, dark beard, approximately 5 feet 10 inches tall, wearing a black skull cap, brown woolen jacket, white shirt, black pants with strings from a Jewish prayer shawl sticking out from his beltline, black-rimmed eyeglasses, has an annoying Jewish accent, robbed the campus deli. He was last seen running in an unathletic-like trot across the campus quad.
In a letter to his faculty, staff and students, Eric Kaler, President of Duh-UM, said that the routine use of a person's race in describing miscreants "may unintentionally reinforce stereotypes of black men and other people of color, as criminals and threats."
It sounds like Kaler is a racist since he assumes that future perpetrators of crimes will turn out to be blacks or people of color. This is typical of progressives--they have always had lower expectations of these groups. If it's a problem on his campus, i.e., that most of the crimes are committed by minorities, then not identifying them only makes things worse.
The biggest targets of hatred on American campuses are not with blacks, nor with Muslim students, it's with the Jewish students. The same is true off-campus as well, but the left seems to turn a blind eye. Jed Lipinski discusses this issue in The Times-Picayune.
Most Jews in the USA tend to vote Democratic, being under the false assumption that the left cares about their safety and welfare.
They fail to see the analogous lack of caring with Israel and how Obama seems to have more in common with Islam than the Jews.
