They are, because they can't comprehend what is happening. They don't realize what they are saying and doing are racist. Until they come to grips with it there is no problem.

Why should we be forced outside just to smoke a cigarette. It is not right. We should be able to enjoy a cigarette in comfort. We are entitled to the same treatment as every other student here at Albright. We are entitled to a comfortable chair when we want to sit down. It doesn't ...
