‘Tunnel of Oppression’ seeks to end the use of racial slurs (SATIRE / PODCAST)
I return back to Scott Ott inspired satirical news with a podcast concerning the Tunnel of Oppression, an annual event here at the UA which seeks to "to challenge peoples’ ideas and perceptions of issues dealing with oppression." I suspect that it may become politically charged as a result of having Proposition 107 on the ballot this year.
As such, the podcast is chock full of racial epithets, so make sure you keep the volume down (or use headphones) if you work at a liberal educational institution. That won’t tend to muffle your laughter, though. You’re on your own there.
Explanations of most slurs and epithets are available here, here, and here.

I guess I should go wearing the “End Sexism and Racism Now: Kill All White Males” shirt.

I don’t believe the Tunnel of Opression in any way endorses prejudice against white males or anyone else. The purpose of the project is to abolish prejudice of *all* kinds, not to find a scapegoat to blame for it.
