Max Karson (U.S.)
[Student suspended from University of Colorado paper for writing satire.]
'Asian hate' writer suspended By Heath Urie, Daily Camera February 27, 2008 BOULDER — The author of an opinion column that garnered national attention for saying Asians "hate us all" and should be hated back was suspended from CU's Campus Press newspaper staff Wednesday. "Max Karson's duties with the Campus Press have been suspended pending a restructuring of the opinions section," according to a statement posted on the student paper's Web site Wednesday. Karson ignited a firestorm last week when his piece titled "If it's war the Asians want ... It's war they'll get," infuriated some students and past members of the Campus Press staff who said the piece was inflammatory and a failed attempt at satire. The statement goes on to say that the publication's editors are in the process of organizing an "open, public forum to address diversity sensitivity in our news coverage" and are rewriting their ethics policy. The announcement came the same day university officials said they're close to announcing major changes in the way the paper is operated and overseen. Faculty members within the CU School of Journalism and Mass Communication met behind closed doors for more than two hours Wednesday to discuss how to best change the management structure of the Campus Press, a class that operates within the school, so that offensive content doesn't get published. The Campus Press already has agreed to establish a Student Diversity Advisory Board, invite student organizations to meet face-to-face with the editors, adopt an "opinions policy," schedule a series of diversity-awareness workshops for the entire staff and host a series of workshops for opinion writing and editing. http://www.vnnforum.com/showthread.php?t=67952 |

Karson, who appears jewish, is suspended from his paper by CU-Boulder for writing anti-racist, anti-sexist satire. His problem? He's too smart for the morons. They can't make out what he's doing. They think he's a racist, sexist, etc. Somewhere at the crossroads of Dumbed Down and Semitically Correct lies...
