A flap on the campus of UC Irvine
At least it wasn't watermelon. At least the cafeteria workers weren't in blackface or wearing Afro wigs.
I can't muster up much outrage over chicken and waffles, the Martin Luther King Jr. Day cafeteria special at the center of a flap on the campus of UC Irvine.
Some black students complained that the meal, promoted on placards in Pippin Commons, trivialized their public commemoration of the slain civil rights giant. I wish they'd just consider it an opportunity, instead, to enjoy good cafeteria food for once.
