Ad in UM's student paper called offensive

The University of Mississippi student newspaper will issue a retraction and apology Monday for running an inflammatory advertisement about immigration and diversity.

The ad, published Friday in The Daily Mississippian, pictured a white baby with light hair and eyes under the heading, "Will She Be a Racial Minority by the Time She Turns 40?"

It was paid for by the New Century Foundation, which publishes American Renaissance, an Oakton, Va.-based monthly publication about race and immigration.

"The content is offensive and it's sad because The Daily Mississippian got duped," said Ralph Braseth, director of student media and a journalism professor at Ole Miss. "The students work really hard to establish credibility ... When something like this happens, it hurts the newspaper and it hurts what they've been trying to do. They'll recover from it, but it's just unfortunate."

haven't we heard of other dirty deeds done by this New Century Foundation - American Renaissance?

what do they mean - renaissance? the renaissance of white colored skin?

(if we keep on getting more UV rays, every color of skin will be degraded, with white skin degrading the fastest.

can we call this evolution by criminal global warming?

1. Typical. Oberweiss pulled that same crap.

Racists reaching out to racists.

2. It takes ~20 thousand years to change skin color, depending on UV

dose at different latitudes. So the descendants of the "whites" in Mississippi won't be "white" by then either.

Heh heh. I think we should tell them. Maybe they'll move underground to preserve the precious white skin of their descendants.

3. Wow, such unabashed racism nt

[DulceDecorum]

4. Those Latino immigrants!!

Just look at what they have done now.

The sign above the Pentagon rebuilding site is an all-American "Let's Roll." But for a large number of the workers pouring concrete, ripping out asbestos and clearing debris, the cry is different.
"We go, 'Andale, ándale' -- 'Get to work!' " said Douglas Ortiz, a Salvadoran-born project manager.
<snip>
Many of the immigrants rebuilding the Pentagon came to America the hard way, sneaking across the Mexican border. Ortiz sloshed across the Rio Grande 13 years ago.
On a recent day, he gazed from a viewing platform at the restored Pentagon's vast gray wall.
"Who would have thought, 13 years ago, when I was on my porch in El Salvador, that I'd be standing outside the Pentagon?" marveled the supervisor.
Ortiz is among the lucky ones. Like many Salvadorans who arrived in the late 1980s, he quickly got a temporary work permit and eventually became a legal permanent resident. He is the father of three U.S.-born girls and owns a house in Fort Totten.
"A few years from now, we're going to try the citizenship," said Ortiz, who works for a Pentagon subcontractor, Potomac Services.
<snip>
The Pentagon project is strict about hiring only legal workers, officials said. A Pentagon spokesman, Glenn Flood, said that in "less than a dozen" cases, workers were found using other laborers' badges.

5. She could be one next week

all her mom and dad have to do is get on a plane and head to Hawai'i, where the racial stuff does not rule our lives the way it so often seems to on the Continent. At present, for instance, I am the sole Caucasian ("haole") in the office, the director having traveled off-island for a conference. I hadn't even realized that until now...

Are Caucasians referred to as haoles? Yup? F'n haoles? Sometimes. But are most local people consumed with hatred of haoles (or pa-kes (Chinese), Japanese, Hawaiians, Samoans, take your pick)? Nope.

Come to think of it, considered as a citizen of Planet Earth, the Caucasian baby is already a racial minority -- and so are the bigoted slime molds who placed the ad!

6. Don't they know that if the world's population is taken into account,

she is already a minority? And a small minority at that?

[fishwax]

7. They got duped?

They must be easy marks, b/c the ad isn't exactly subtle ...

[entanglement]

8. Hmmm, they talk about having the ad 'by mistake'

but I won't be surprised if the College Republicans had something to do with it.

[BringEmOn]

9. Won't be consuming a majority of the Earth's resources, either.

10. oh, PUH-lLeeeze

Did they run this one at Ole Miss as well? Seems like Melodybe might have said something about it.

The fact is, yes, whites will be in the minority soon. Damn breeders... :sarcasm:

Couldn't be happier about it myself. We CAN all get along if we want to.
