I SECOND THAT—–What other American citizens or permenant residents (green cards) come to this nation and take time off of work, school, etc. to celebrate a foreign nation’s independence day—–????? It’s scary when you think about it.

Cinco De Mayo is bad enough—but half of you young Latino/a people WERE BORN HERE—-many are not even Mexican nationals——it’s an affront to progressivism in the U.S. when your allegiance is primarily too your ancestors homeland.

the CSU curiculum speaks for itself—-we have a Chicano studies department—other ethnic studies departments as well——-a degree probably won’t land you a healthy job, however. Hearing about reconquista and Aztlan all day long kind of warps an otherwise bright mind.

Also, technically, Chicano, Latino, Mexican, Hispanic ——ISN’T EVEN A RACE—–so you are essentially saying the western european culture is too emphasized? Hardly—–I don’t see any Dutch-American fraternities or cultural awareness groups around these parts.

And Paige, you’re an idiot. what happened, did a Mexican use a dirty word against you? You’re logic is flawed.

I agree with the mexican are low class comments and are ruining Fresno State. Fresno State needs to do whatever they can to attract the white, affluent kids from Clovis Unified. They make the school much better. Don’t accept any kids from low class schools like Roosevelt, Mclane, Fresno High etc. Keep that filth at Fresno City College. Fresno State doesn’t need them stinking up the classrooms at the university. Fresno State needs to make sure that their enrollment practices result in a white majority and a mexican minority of less than 10%. The numbers now are absolutely terrible.

Thanks HARRY KUNTZ……your statement of

“…this campus SHOULD do away with ethnic fraternities/sororities and Mexican independence day celebrations, however. Those groups aren’t beneficial to the masses”

reassures me that what i said….this campus and community is in favor of white majority rule. Please stop making yourself look bad. You can believe whatever you want about middle class, but look around you my friend, whos getting richer and whos getting poorer, and also whos cultural values are being far more favored? its the white conservative community my friend. You even solidified my point by picking ONLY mexican independent day celebrations which clearly shows your bias. Of all the other ethnic groups you could name you picked the one that this community is racist towards and you cant even identify that within yourself…..shame on you. i bet your eating nachos, drinking tecate and dipping chips in salsa while picking up on hispanic chicks/dudes this weekend as you party arent you? dimwit!!

i second that—-so you’re a vegan, feminist, who doesn’t own a car, and lives in a communal housing unit??????——i bet you buy into the system as well—-don’t act like you’re holier than we are. These universities are designed to build a social middle class strata, a viable workforce of the not wealthy and not poor——and nothing more—-they’re not intended to promote whiteness………..this campus SHOULD do away with ethnic fraternities/sororities and Mexican independence day celebrations, however. Those groups aren’t beneficial to the masses

Harper you are correct. No matter how brown, black or any other color this community claims to support and be pro-active for, there is too much of a conservative based governance on this campus and in the local government. Its all based on the traditional agri-business that favors these values.

Anyone who tries to argue otherwise needs a good history, economic and political crash course session on this valley.

LOL what do you mean, is that a derogatory comment or just a silly joke. But i do drink kool aid along with all that other food that makes me feel like we appreciate multi-culture and yes we can say we support ethnic studies and all that fancy stuff that makes us feel like this community is multi-ethnic, but in the end, it is all based on a white conservative society. No joke. im just telling you how it is.

I love Kool-Aid

“OHHH YEAH!”

“All studies at this university are white … structured on white conservative teachings.” Keep drinking the kool aide Jared.

What do raza studies go anythng to do with it? All studies at this university are WHITE, plain and simple. Its all strucutred on white conservative teachings. Nothing like white, conservative superpoweres in our campus all paid for not by the student dime but by the students thousands of dollars.

Get your head straight marsh mellow, geez you cant even recognize your own peoples power when they control everything. Im white as they come and im not that ignorant.

if the raza events would be eliminated, i’d be a happy camper—nothing like racial disharmony paid for by the student dime. and can this potentially lead to men’s soccer and wrestling reinstatement in better economic times if continued!!!? Not likely (maybe in a perfect world)—-i know half of this surplus is probably due to road football games at Rutgers, UCLA, Wisconsin, and Cincy and payments made to short our home schedule.

Wow! While there is a surplus of money at athletics….our ASI government thinks its best to keep pumping money into sport programs…..while at the same time vut the funding to poor ol student clubs. Goodbye Raza events, goodbye Jim Crow demonstrations, and oh cant forget our Asian persuasion to get up and move to beautiful majestic dances.
