Good 5-cent cigar controversy at URI

Perhaps I'm a hopeless fossil of Western ( inspired by dead

    white men ) Civilization , but my first reaction  to an offensive article,

    editorial, or cartoon in a influential newspaper  would be to WRITE A

    LETTER TO THE EDITOR.

           The minority group at URI - offended by a cartoon they MISTAKENLY

    interpreted as racist and venomously anti-affirmative - a cartoon in the

    college newspaper " The Good 5-cent Cigar " - are acting like undemocratic

    bullies. They want to punish the editors and the staff of the paper; already

    finds have been cut for running the paper, a mindlessly hasty action .

            And let me ask this : Does the anti- affirmative action position

    simply have to be banned in the URI newspaper ?

            Is it not dangerous too over-react to perceived racism? It is a

    lot like crying wolf. When the REAL wolf is at the door of American

    institutions , we might mistakenly see him as a benevolent SAVIOR !
