U of T’s Anti-Racism and Cultural Diversity Office Bans Humour

U of T’s anti-racism office bans comedy poster

"But after complaints raised by the U of T’s Anti-Racism and Cultural Diversity Office, the committee hosting the duo at the U of T campus told the performers to replace the poster with something less objectionable.

“The Anti-Racism Office was a co-sponsor of the event and felt that if its name were on the poster, they could not use the image,” explained Tamar Berger, special projects co-ordinator for the U of T’s Hillel organization, one of the show’s sponsors. “On a single poster, we could not place the image of Larry Jay Tish in a context.”

Nobody who works in any department with the word "diversity" in it has a sense of humor. I swear they must test potential candidates for this.

On my campus, the only time you see a white guy on a poster is when it's about bullying.

The very word "diversity" has totally lost it's true meaning in our PC world and universities,which are supposed to be the most open to diverse  ideas are the worst offenders.

They are staffed by cranks with an ax to grind.

That's a good descriptor.
