‘Frat boy’ culture needs to change
Judging by the number of people who showed up at the Rally Against Racism last Wednesday, I’m definitely not the only person who was infuriated by the Nov. 14 racist incident, in which a professor was verbally harassed and forced off the sidewalk on her way to teaching her class.

'Everyday racism' a product of myth
Events last semester have brought discussions regarding racism to the fore on campus. An opinion piece in the Journal in October claimed that racism is present in daily interactions at Queen’s (“‘Everyday racism’ no less violent,” Journal, Oct. 26, 2007). In its apparent simplicity, the concept of being “against racism,” causes me much discomfort because both words are problematic and therefore not indicative of a clear resolution. Firstly, there is no consensus about what constitutes racism. A perfect example is my disagreement with that opinion piece’s reference to “everyday racism”.

I’m disappointed that in the Journal’s haste to manufacture controversy it effectively marginalized and cast into suspicion a thoroughly positive and environmentally significant initiative by Lifford Wine Agency, Plantatree wine, whose availability on our campus should have been celebrated.
