Did a BBQ with Sebastian's dad. Cool dude.

More wanna talk about the Psi U drama that unfolded last night. Using several yikyaks as my sources, there was a party that was predominantly poc, and they were having a good time. Then a group of ~10-15 athletes showed up. Several people already at the party got uncomfortable with this, which is kind of a theme regarding poc parties. This party was not strictly for poc's, though, and apparently, at least one of the athletes was given a direct invitation to come. One yikyak claims that the others were greenlit to come, others say all the people were invited. Many people on the other side claim the party was private and closed. Psi U is also well known as a poc safe space.

As one athlete was leaving the bathroom, apparently he was told to get out because he's white. One woman went into the bathroom with two friends to feel safe and comfortable and vent, and when a white woman came in they told her to leave three times before they "literally had to push". I assume this means the door closed. At one point it seems like there was a confrontation where they were asked to leave. One dude asked why, one girl from across the room said "BECAUSE YOU'RE TOO WHITE", one girl flipped someone off, and one made puking sounds at the dudes as they left.

There's a big debate going on about if this is racism, if psi u acted out of line, and generally about the details surrounding this. Very interesting. All the athletes and their cliques are super mad at Psi U, trying to get them cancelled by the school and the community. But the community is split.
