What a way to not seem totally heteronormative and not enforce anachronistic world and gender views…

What’s so bad about the extra help? In many ways, this country does so little to reach out to its immigrant communities. The expectation is that the immigrant has to adapt and acclimate to the United States. Many Latin American immigrants come from countries that are unresponsive to their needs and problems, and thus many might rely on more informal networks to solve their problems. The fear of deportation for those without documentation might drive others away from the government as a source of legal protection. Programs like these express a non-discriminatory environment open to all immigrants from Latin America. So, hey, what’s wrong with a little extra help? We sure could use all the help we could get.

Yo, what got into your hat today, Cindy?
What’s with this angry tirade against Yale and all this racist name calling? Spic? Paki? And could you PLEASE explain to me what a “raghead” is? No white people? Um, look at the first picture of the set. What’s that? Oh, yeah, looks like a bunch of white people. (PS. These are actually people who were in that secret society and your “hot-off-GAWKER” pictures are over a year old. Now, that’s what I like to call “investigative reporting.”)
Even as a first generation Mexican American rising senior at Yale (not in a secret society), I’ll be the first to admit that secret societies at Yale can be a total load of crap. They’re some stupid excuse to get drunk on Thursday and Sunday nights. What’s the point? But what’s with your vicious little fit about secret societies? What did secret societies ever do to you?
Yale nor the rest of the Ivy League (such as Columbia, the school your own head Editor, Alex Alvarez, attended) is only filled with wack, WASP-y, stuck-up mofos.
Sure, there are still kids like that at Yale and in the Ivy League. But ironically, now they are increasingly becoming the minority. We’ve come a long way from the 60s. There’s no denying that back then the George Bushes ruled; Mexicans, Asians, (enter minority of your choice here) would not have been allowed into the front doors of a school like Yale; and probably called the same names you just used, but if you took the time to look up some facts, i.e. demographics and admissions data, instead of just extrapolating from some random picture set (which, yeah, like you, I find suspicious as to how it got into Gawker’s hands and your hands) you’d come to a very different set of conclusions. There was SO much else you could have done with these pictures, i.e. make fun of Alba’s atrocious makeup, bangs, horrid black dress and little black bows that match the one right over her crack.
Yale may not be as integrated as it could be, but then again neither is every other university in the country.
AND who you calling a nerd, nerd?
Look, I love reading Guanabee, especially Alex. I think its an amazing blog and I’ll keep reading it. Just stop cribbing off of Gawker, check your facts, and keep it real.
