ZitatFlyers with the above message were only briefly posted Monday at Gustavus Adolphus College, a small, liberal arts college in Minnesota. According to media reports, people ripped them down within five minutes.
All the same, they’ve created a firestorm of controversy, leading some students to fear for their classmates and raising tensions among the student body of less than 2,500 people.
“I have friends of color who were very afraid,” one sophomore told KMSP.
“With those posters being put up yesterday in the manner that they were, to me just made my fears come to life and had me believing that if someone could be that vocal about their feelings about immigrants … who knows what else they would do,” another student told Southern Minnesota News.
But as it turns out, the people posting the flyers didn’t actually agree with their message. Instead, they were conducting a social experiment aimed at educating students on issues of bias and racism.
Gustavus’s Diversity Leadership Council, which represents nearly two dozen student groups on campus, admitted to posting the flyers Monday after images of them circulated on social media. In an email sent to the student body that it later posted to its Facebook page, the council said, “we hope that members of the campus community will reflect on today’s events and join us in ensuring that no one student or group of students are ever a victim of this form of discrimination.”

The posters were actually approved by the college’s administration, who told KMSP the experiment worked in that multiple people contacted them about the posters to complain, displaying “the kind of positive bystander interaction we would hope for.”
If we can't find any evidence of racism, then, by golly, we will make some up. As a bonus we can tell everyone how wonderfully anti-racist we are when the scam is exposed.
