Davis, California: Still Making a Name for Itself

Police at the University of California, Davis are investigating a string of recent vandalism incidents as a possible hate crime. Late last Sunday night or early the following morning, an unknown person smashed car windshields, shattered campus windows, and wrote a racial epithet on a chalkboard.

A similar rash of hate-related vandalism occurred in 2010, when swastikas were found on campus grounds and buildings housing lesbian and gay organizations were vandalized. The perpetrators were never identified.

  Raw Story

I’m not surprised, but I wonder how hard they tried. Davis is also where the campus cops sprayed sit-in Occupy protestors directly in the face with pepper spray.

I did my graduate work at UC Davis in the mid-90s. The town is a white man’s stronghold. And not poor whites. They don’t even allow discount stores like Wal-Mart to set up shop, because it would invite Mexicans to live and work there (although I'm sure that's not the official reason). Every other community surrounding Davis, and probably all of California, has a large Mexican-American population. Not Davis. The only dark-skinned people in town that I saw were temporary students at the university, and there weren’t many of them.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
