CUPD Seeks Evidence In Alleged Hate Crime (Cornell Incident Follow-Up)

The Cornell University Police Department is investigating an assault that occurred following the Ludacris and Nappy Roots concert at Barton Hall on Sunday evening.

A female Cornell junior has reported being attacked by a group of five females and one male, resulting in a ruptured ear drum, 13 stitches on her lower lip and other cuts and bruises. The victim, who is white, said the attack was a hate crime and identified the alleged assailants as African American.

...
The sponsors of the concert, the Cornell Concert Commission, the African Latino Asian Native American Programming Board and the Minority Concert Fund Advisory Board, all refused to comment to The Sun.


At what point do we get to ridiculous? Are we there yet?

The victim and CUPD are hoping that more information will be obtained from witnesses.

"If people saw better than me, maybe they can do a better job describing them to the police," the victim said.


Why do I get the feeling that black people all look alike to her?

1. That's not very nice to say. It's hard to describe
anybody when you're in the throes of the business end of an attack! I would imagine.

"Why do I get the feeling that black people all look alike to her?"

Umm... because it's easier to prejudge the situation with your own biases than actually find out what really happened?
