For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Party controversy deemed passe Subject The topic of the resource Tone deaf op-ed that criticized the Middlebury Asian Students Organization (MASO) response to the racist party held at the Mill (the theme was "Asia"). The author essentially characterizes their anger as a form of cultural gatekeeping. Additionally, the author criticized the AAA, Posse Scholars, and PALANA's decision to protest the Frisbee party (the theme was "Cowboys and Injuns". The author claims that this was a publicity stunt and that the "more mature thing" to do would have been to quietly discuss a change of theme with the party organizers. Description An account of the resource Volume 103, Number 5 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Bryan Goldberg Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available The Campus Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 10/21/2004 Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Bryan Goldberg Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant "What right does MASO have to act as if they alone can celebrate or otherwise make reference to the continent of Asia? They are not in a position of moral authority such that they can decide when it is and is not appropriate to have an Asian Themed party. As a Japanese studies minor, I am personally annoyed by the outrageous position that Caucasian students must be extra-sensitive in dealing with the broad topic of Asia." "Had the theme been discreetly changed in advance of the party, there would have been no headlines, no outrage no call for greater funding for diversity causes." campus culture racism student activism student life student organization
