Virginia college may nix wasp mascot, fearing tie to 'White Anglo-Saxon Protestants'

[WASHINGTONTIMES] Emory & Henry College in Virginia has announced to students the school will re-examine its wasp mascot. Why? The bug may appear "exclusive" to students who are not White Anglo-Saxon Protestants, or "WASPs."

While a public outcry over racism continues around the nation, the college is already concerned that its two historical namesakes — Methodist Episcopal Church bishop John Emory and founding father Patrick Henry — were slave holders. The school mascot has also come under scrutiny.

"Conversations must examine how Emory & Henry’s past has contributed to current and ongoing systemic oppression," said Dr. John Wells, president of Emory & Henry College, according to the email obtained by Young America’s Foundation.

why is illegal to beat the shit out of these ppl?

That's a good question! It may be that excessive numbers of excessively stupid people is a modern problem and our judicial system has simply not yet evolved to deal with it.

In olden days, if you were stupid, your days were numbered. You wandered off a cliff, were eaten by bears, scalped by wild Indians or simply starved to death in the winter. Thanks to the blessings of civilization, most of these things are no longer a problem and the stupid accumulate.

Personally, I'm starting to feel like an extra in the remake of "Idiocracy".
