Bravo to this U.D. student!

You've gotta read what was dubbed the "Worse One-on-One" (second one listed out of the two if you click the link) by a University of Delaware RA who administered the "treatment" to a Russell Hall undergrad last year. Read the RA's thoughts on the meeting, but the best part is below that -- the answers the undergrad wrote (italics) to the rather intrusive questions (bold):

1) When were you first made aware of your race?
"That is irrelevant to everything. My race is human being."

2) When did you discover your sexual identity?
"That is none of your damn business"

3) Who taught you a lesson in regards to some form of diversity awareness? What was that lesson?
"My grandparents sometimes make racial comments. And what the hell does that have to do with anything."

4) When was a time when you confronted someone regarding an issue of diversity? What was the confrontation about? If you haven't, why not?
"Why would I do something like that? Diversity exists. I like it. Leave it at that."

5) When was a time you felt oppressed? Who was oppressing you? How did you feel?
"I am oppressed everyday on basis of my undying and devont feelings for the opera. Regularly passerbys throw stones at me and jeer me with cruel names. Because of this I am exile dand often contemplate suicide. Unbearable adversity. But I will overcome, hear me, you rock loving majority. This is called 'sarcasm.'"

6) Can you think of a time when someone was offended by what you said? How did that make you feel? How did you think it made them feel? How did his/her behavior change towards you?
"I offend people everyday just by being alive. They look at me and feel insulted. Then I open my mouth and they are further insulted. I say things like 'good day!' and they take insult. More sarcasm! All right!"

This undergrad is my new hero, yo.

Reminds me of the 1966 Bob Dylan/Playboy interview.

Your new hero is clearly a thought criminal. Off to the re-education camp with you!
