Here, Sponge Cake Phil may have accidentally implied that the liberal students who uttered anti-Asian slurs in the dormitories were “monsters.” Perhaps Sponge Cake Phil didn’t give that paragraph as much thought as the others. But, fortunately for Sponge Cake Phil, liberal students who like to doctor photographs with swastikas will be unable to prosecute him under the campus speech code.

Even though the judge has spared him prosecution for implying that some Tech students are “monsters,” Sponge Cake Phil is still pessimistic about the future:

Tolerance, even if it is itself demeaning and can only be a transitory phase on the way to genuine respect and equality, is, at least, a step forward from bigotry. The defense of intolerance in a Georgia court leaves open the door for the promulgation of prejudice and the replacement of discourse with counterproductive and ugly tirades.

I suppose things could get worse at Georgia Tech. Perhaps the distribution of Hostess Twinkies to make fun of Georgia Tech Asians will be replaced by the distribution of Hostess Thinkies to make fun of Georgia Tech professors.

Finally, Sponge Cake Phil reminds us who this suit was targeting in the first place:

The lawsuit brief itself was specifically directed at the right of campus groups to protest openly with language and actions they choose against the campus gay community. Although I am not gay, I would have to say that the most decent, conscientious, moral and honest person I happen to know is…

Of course, Sponge Cake Phil’s assertion that the suit is directed towards homosexuals is simply false. He just needed to remind us in the closing paragraphs of his column that he has lots of gay friends. And that means he’s tolerant.

Personally, I’m elated that we finally defeated the Georgia Tech speech code. Now, I have a right to email (phillip.mcknight@modlangs.gatech.edu) Sponge Cake Phil to give him my opinion about his column – even though I have no intention of calling him a Hostess Twinkie.

Instead, I intend to promote diversity by offering the opposite opinion. To do so, I’ll dub him a Hostess Thinkie – a fruitcake who is white on the outside and yellow on the inside.
