Haha!

This is awesome. Some Chinese dudes threw a Moon Festival thingie and some black chick who controls money felt "excluded." Sensitivity training!

[Stefanie Stevens] also said she felt excluded because the entire event was conducted in Chinese with no English subtitles. Most events conducted in foreign languages have English subtitles, she said.

Why can't they just learn English!!! It's such an odd complaint on this campus, but I guess when it's the Chinese we're bitching about, it's all good.

"I have the feeling that this is the first event she has attended based so intensely on Chinese culture," said Jane Qi, the association's treasurer. "We've been on campus for only a couple of months."

Oh, well. At least someone's covering the Graduate Assembly for once.

I think this double standard is entirely unfair. If a white person said this about a latino event, people would be screaming racism.

That said, I think Stevens has a reasonable complaint.
