The English Department at Rutgers University says it responded swiftly and “with severity and directness” after finding out that a graduate student sent an email to a group of students inviting them to a whites-only screening of the film “Song of the South.”
Carolyn Williams, professor and chair of the department, denied allegations contained in a letter to the editor of the student newspaper that department officials had refused to publicly acknowledge “the racist, discriminatory nature of the email.”

So If I invite a bunch of GSUS'ers to a party and say its only for whites I'd be in big trouble, bullshit.
“The Department of English, like the rest of Rutgers University, finds bias acts unacceptable,” she said.
The controversy over the email was first reported this week by The Daily Targum, the student newspaper. The email was sent Sept. 28 by a
""""white graduate student in the English Department to a group of students enrolled with her in a class titled "Post-Bellum/Pre-Harlem.”"""""
The student invited the group, reportedly also white, to watch a screening of the 1946 Walt Disney movie “Song of the South,” which some modern-day observers say is racist and stereotypical in its portrayal of blacks just after the Civil War.
