I korthet, svarta studenter har teamat upp med indian-ditos (såna där frölunda indianer, inte indier) för att få bort en rasistisk sten från campus. ja, du läste rätt. stenen är rasistisk!
Citat:
Chamberlin Rock, which had sat on Observatory Point since 1925, was named after Thomas Chamberlin, a geologist and former university president who served from 1887 to 1892.
A 1925 Wisconsin State Journal article used the n-word as part of a nickname for the giant boulder.
Den omnändes alltså som n-stenen 1925, och nu är studenter retroaktivt kränkta.
Har vi några liknande stenar i Sverige? Kommer BLM-hysterin bli lika hjärndöd här som i USA?

"In the midst of demands for justice following George Floyd's murder last summer, the students wanted change on campus and they worked hard to see this through. While the decision required compromise, I'm proud of the student leaders and the collaboration it took to get here."
Citat:
Gary Brown, director of campus planning and landscape architecture, shepherded the search for the rock's new home. "Moving the rock to this remote site prevents further harm to our community while preserving the rock's educational and research value for current and future scholars," Brown said in a news release.
