White Girls Shouldn’t Wear Hoop Earrings, Latin Student Group says

Share this article

From Campus Reform:

A wall on the side of a Pitzer College dormitory devoted to unmoderated free speech through art (colloquially named “the free wall”), was recently painted by a group of Latino students with the message, “White Girl, take off your [hoop earrings]!!!”

When one white student expressed confusion about the message, Alegria Martinez, a Pitzer College Resident Assistant (RA) and active member of the “Latinx Student Union,” responded in an email thread sent to the entire student body.
