Black Stunt: HEC says students ‘didn’t want to offend anyone’

Anthony Morgan was walking through the Univerité de Montréal campus on Wednesday when he saw something that stopped him in his tracks: a group of white students, their faces painted black, waving a Jamaican flag as they chanted “Smoke some weed! Yeah mon! Yeah mon!”

“It was never something I expected to see in Montreal, much less on a university campus,” Morgan told The Gazette. “Being black and of Jamaican descent myself it was just completely jarring. It was humiliating as though your race is somehow a costume for baffoonery, as though somehow I was invisible or less than a person. It was really tough to have to walk by that.”

“What’s alarming is that this isn’t someone who accidentally let the n-word slip mid conversation,” he said. “That’s obviously bad but this was an event that was planned for weeks. It’s a problem that in the hours of planning this took no one stopped to say maybe this is wrong.”
