“Sombrerogate” at Bowdoin College: Next Level….T-Shirts

You may have heard last week following a tequila-themed birthday party at Bowdoin College, students and other members of the administration are up in arms after students represented sombreros.

This appears to be driven by previous racism problems on campus.
