Sad members of our soft American culture are officially running out of things by which to be offended. The latest straw-grasping attempt to express misplaced disdain for something completely harmless comes to us from Quinnipiac University.

A student “activist” single-handedly caused the postponement of a Kappa Alpha Theta philanthropy event because she deemed the display of maracas on a poster for a Latin-themed event to be culturally insensitive and “shameful.” Maracas. Fucking maracas.

The event aimed to raise money for children in foster care, according to a tipster who reached out to me with an explanation.

Dorno,

Didn’t know how else to get this to you, but this morning Quinnipiac’s Kappa Alpha Theta chapter had to postpone their philanthropy event, Queso for CASA which raised money to support kids in foster care. This postponing of events comes in the wake of a self-proclaimed student activist who believe that the event poster was offense because it contained images of maracas. The girl ran to Student Affairs and demanded action be taken. Theta is obviously pretty upset and the rest of the Greek community has been tweeting and sharing videos about what CASA is in hopes to inform everyone.

Below is her tweet getting all bent out of shape over it.

Well done, Gruber (no idea how to add those weird accent marks). Those greedy kids in foster care are too coddled anyway. They don’t need any more handouts. About time someone stepped out of the shadows to toughen these parent-less children up.

UPDATE: Apparently, this story is absolutely exploding on the Wigo app.

A Wigo representative I spoke to said this has been their most viral event ever, in the form of an outpouring of support for Kappa Alpha Theta, who intended to offend no one, but only wanted to raise money for children in need.

Users anywhere are currently able to “peek” inside Quinnipiac University Wigo to get a live feed of it blowing up. If you’d like to express your feelings about the cancelation of the event, go there now and do so.

    Everyone that was offended should be whacked by some maracas. This is just ridiculous

      I’m hispanic and I hate when “activists” do this type of shit. It’s a fucking music instrument and nachos, get over yourself. I’m sure the orphans love her

    Gruber with those accent marks usually means central or eastern european descent, so why is she fighting someone else’s battle? Didn’t know they had maracas in Germany? This is pretty stupid.

      I’m Mexican, and this shit doesn’t offend me in the slightest. It’s actually the Republican students and their clubs at my school that blow the whistle on all our fun shit (and no, I’m not a liberal, just pointing out that most of the Republicans are, ironically, the ones being un-American at my college),

    4. Sorry to piggy back on the top comment, but this is infuriating and I feel so powerless to combat this shit. Some PC fuck can drop Im offended and move mountains, but what can I what can we do to counter this?

        The terrible thing is.. that YOU can say you’re offended and they won’t even lift a finger.

      2. It looks like we have to resort to diversity bids now. If they had a Mexican sister, this would never have happened.

    In all honesty judging from her picture wouldn’t mind her shaking my maraca

    If she says that maracas aren’t a staple of Mexican music then why the fuck is she getting offended?

      Obviously you don’t understand cultural appropriation well enough to understand

      She’s pointing out that associating maracas with Mexican music is offensive because of the fact that they’re not a staple of it. I don’t agree with it one bit but you should learn to read between the lines, squirt.

        I was gonna ignore this but it worries me that you can’t come up with a different condescending name other than the one I use, sport. So I’m gonna lay this out for you, champ. Nowhere does the sign say anything about Mexico, chief. So if she assumed by the colors, the food, the maracas, or the Spanish language that this had to deal with Mexico, then she herself (by her own definition) is thinking inappropriately and committing cultural appropriation, slugger. She is the only one that brought up Mexico, big guy. But maybe if you would have read what’s on the actual page instead of the imaginary stuff between the lines you would have recognized that, sherlock.

    Next this bitch is going to sue Disney World for the It’s a Small World ride being culturally stereotypical and insensitive. Can we set aside meaningless squabbles for one moment and just let kids grow up in a world that isn’t as jaded as this feminist’s perception of racism?
