It's not only the Ugly American who can become an obnoxious racist. We now find out that it can happen across the pond, as in Norwich, England, the home of East Anglia University. You may have already heard of this university. It's the home of the fabled hockey stick for determining global warming.
It seems a local bistro, Pedro's Tex-Mex, was offering free sombrero's to college students as a promotion. The University, in it's deluded state of mind banned the practice of acceptance by members of the student body. It's reasoning? It would be racist for a non-Mexican to sport a Mexican sombrero. I can't make this stuff up.
