Is White Snow racist? racist snowflakes University College London apologises to anti-racism campaigners for calling snow ‘white’ The leading university was mocked after quoting the popular song White Christmas on twitter, asking: 'Dreaming of a white campus?' By Harry Cole, Westminster Correspondent 14th December 2017, 2:05 am Updated: 14th December 2017, 8:49 am During the cold weather on Monday uni bosses writer on Twitter: “Dreaming of a white campus?” They added: “Our campuses will be open and operating fully today so please make your way in as planned. (We can’t guarantee snow but we’ll try!)” But immediately angry students following the account branded the tweet “racist” and demanded it be taken down. The tweet asked if students were 'dreaming of a white campus' following the weekend's snow It later issued an apology, linking the song it had quoted and promising to choose words 'more carefully' The next day the uni bowed to pressure and issued a grovelling apology. Replying to their own message they shared a video of Bing Crosby singing White Christmas, adding: “We chose our words very poorly yesterday when thinking of this song.” They went on: “We’re sorry and we’ll choose our words more carefully in the future.” But their rowback caused even more uproar online, with hundreds of replies blasting the response. The tweet was in reference to the popular festive tune White Christmas by Bing Crosby The tweet was in reference to the popular festive tune White Christmas by Bing Crosby One user Kenny Young wrote: “What? Are you mad? "Who has managed to convince you that they were offended? It cannot be true.” The university's apology was met with backlash criticising the 'PC culture' And Jennie Powell added: “You really are absurd..how can anyone be offended by the fact that snow is white..nobody can change that..get a grip..” And another user Sarah hit out: “Oh Lord! What cry babies complained about this? Perfectly clear what you meant! People are getting lost in this PC culture!” Last night UCL did not respond to requests for comment. http://www...igners-for-calling-snow-white/

yankeessuck123 Member	Thu Dec 14 05:37:20 It's obviously not about the snow, it's obviously about the concept of a "white campus". As in, one without colored people. Yes, anyone getting worked up about this needs to find something better to do. That includes the handful of worked up tweeters who saw the headline and got snippy. This also includes you, Mr Rod. No, this is not newsworthy.
Hot Rod Revved Up	Thu Dec 14 05:47:25 yankee, they are liberals, what else should we expect? Though I was giving them the benefit of the doubt.
Wrath of Orion Member	Thu Dec 14 05:55:00 lol, that college got trolled so hard. Retard Rod is just as fucking stupid for lapping it up.
Hot Rod Revved Up	Thu Dec 14 06:12:40 And there is the kid that gets everything wrong.
Wrath of Orion Member	Thu Dec 14 06:33:43 Yes, I get different "answers" than you. Because I'm not a delusional retard like you.
Hot Rod Revved Up	Thu Dec 14 06:55:46 I'm going to take a shower. You liberals should try it sometime. It washes the stink off. Just the outside stink though.
hood Member	Thu Dec 14 07:35:56 Everyone knows that real snow is pink. That white shit was installed by the white make patriarchy to remind everyone else just how dominant they are when the white snow falls to the Earth and blankets everyone in its racism and privilege.

Hot Rod Revved Up	Thu Dec 14 08:01:17 Not really sure, because it was a long time ago. But it seems to me one of my teachers when I was in the first or second grade read us a story about the Japanese or Chinese and in it the snow was pink. I have never been to those countries myself so I don't know for sure.

patom Member	Thu Dec 14 10:37:18 Ah for the good old days when most people burned coal to heat their homes and most electricity was generated by coal fired plants. And snow only remained white for a short time till the soot from the chimneys and smoke stacks spewed enough ash and dust to turn the snow brown or gray. All hail the Twitterman. Because he has promised a return to those glory days of old. Dilly Dilly
