ann arbor is overrated.

News of the recent alleged anti-Asian incident on campus has now reached Berkeley, and students are urging their peers to e-mail Mary Sue Coleman or sign an online petition, in a call for action that describes A2 as “a cleaner Berkeley.”

Not everyone is quite on board. “You realize that we’re at Berkeley, right? Asking for protest statements from students 2000 miles away seems a bit disengenuous [sic]. Obviously, this was a disturbing event and the people responsible should be appropriately punished, chastised, and ostracized… but, uh, what’s this have to do with us?” one perplexed Cal student asks. Imagine if we Ann Arborites were shortsighted enough to dwell on these kind of minor geographical details — the country would be embroiled in a disastrous war with Iraq for lack of a council resolution to stop it.
