Originally posted by snoopy369 View PostThe reason for the outrage is that the writer is clearly quite racist in his post. He's saying "a racial American [=white, I guess?] still hasn't won the marathon in two decades". That is the objectionable part... he's expressing the same sentiments as the anti-Mexican crowd, basically. "Real" Americans are born and bred in the US, and don't have funny accents or speak a language other than English...Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

Actually, we should give Texas back to Mexico and then their official language will be Spanish.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”

I guess we should just be happy that the guy figured out how big of an idiot he was and apologized.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple
