Whiny student official plays the race card because of incorrect photo caption
This is Kandeh and Watson.
Kandeh tells the senate that because she’s “a trained journalist” and “a woman of color,” she couldn’t let the incorrect caption “slide.”
You see, Kandeh is an unusually special student whom everyone should recognize:
"Despite having been awarded the Top Undergraduate of 2014 during the Spring Leadership Gala, featured in the “It’s Y [ ] U” campaign where my face hung in Baker for a year, this semester’s Homecoming Queen and most recently Scripps Next Top … there is no excuse I can possibly imagine as to why that photo was approved by several people, sent to the printer and then published online."
The paper’s first correction correctly identified the official as Watson but called her a “candidate for treasurer,” the office that Kandeh eventually won – a revision that Kandeh said “marginalized and erased my identity as the actual treasurer.” (Kandeh ran on a competing ticket.)
