Students offered counselling over small sombrero hats at tequila-themed birthday party
Row at college in Maine seen as latest instance of political correctness sweeping university campuses
A university offered counselling to students “injured and affected” by a group of classmates who wore small sombrero hats to a tequila-themed birthday party.
The row, which erupted at Bowdoin College, a private liberal arts college in the US state of Maine, is being seen as the latest instance of a new mood of censorious political correctness sweeping university campuses on both sides of the Atlantic.
After photos of party-goers wearing the miniature sombreros, several inches in diameter, appeared on social media, administrators at the college immediately sent out multiple emails notifying students about an “investigation” into a possible “act of ethnic stereotyping”.
The General Assembly of Bowdoin students issued a “statement of solidarity to stand by all students who were affected by the ‘tequila’ party”. The party hosts are facing disciplinary action.

100% verifiable facts or your money back. Anti-fascist. Enemy of woo - theistic or otherwise. Cloth is not an antiviral. Imagination and fantasy is no substitute for tangible reality. Wishing doesn't make it real.

Tequila is from Mexico. Sombreros are also from Mexico. That's not stereotyping, that's finding similarities

Hope they didn't serve any of this stuff
Even the goddamn universe is racist. Here's Messier 104, AKA "Sombrero Galaxy"
Sombreros are damned useful. Shield you from both rain and sun, and provide an eye shade for your siesta.
