If you hate yourself you can read this whole thing, but Ill give you the highlights: When I found out that the Ryerson Students’ Union had booked racist, Israel-hating comedian Aamer Rahman as part of their Fall 2014 Week of Welcome, I was angry and disheartened, but not particularly shocked. They loudly trumpet their commitment to creating “safe spaces” for all different kinds of “folks” while quietly and deliberately failing to do this for anyone with lighter skin...Racism is racism: white students are not immune from feeling hurt when their student union hires a comedian whose jokes are almost exclusively at their expense... The RSU will not remove Aamer Rahman. Instead, they will give him a stage and a microphone to spew his racist ‘jokes’...It will come at the expense of new students’ comfort with and excitement about their new school. LOL.
