A Minority Hunger Games?

Hello yall! How are we doing on this fine day in April? The weather is absolutely "fabulous!"  Sorry, I couldn't help myself.  I actually have a tendency to avoid using that word because of the harsh stereotyping that goes along with it.

Currently, there has been much growing excitement for the first Ursinus College Hunger Games, to begin this Thursday!  It is going to be an exciting game, and interesting social experiment to see alliances formed and broken, friends betraying friends, and who will come out on top!  Jen and I were just picking out the lovely ribbons that each Tribute will be wearing, it is going to be so exciting!

What if there was an actual Hunger Games that was run by some sick monkey where tributes were selected from districts that were the different minorities of society.

District 1: Queer Community
District 2: Asian Community
District 3: Arab Community
District 4: Latino Community
District 5: Black Community
District 6: Dungeons & Dragons Community
District 7: Computer Nerd Community
District 8: HALO Community

Ok, so they arent all on the same level, but you get my picture.  It would be an interesting social experiment to see which groups teamed up with who, and who came out on top! (A dominant-type gay man of course!)

However, I think it might be more beneficial to everyone if all the minorities were to band together to kick butt and show people that prejudice is really a terrible edifice which causes so much death and destruction between a species where we need to learn to love and accept one another.

Didn't see that twist did you??

Keep it real!
