    University of Florida president: "There is no racism associated with this chant, but it might have been used that way 130 years ago so we're getting rid of it anyway. Also, diversity training for everyone!"

    Well some of the male characters definitely show "character" growth.

    Story doesn’t say what the imagery associated with the chant entailed. I’m curious.

    The Tampa Bay Times has some more detail. But the fact that it wasn't immediately obvious makes it even more of a head scratcher. The only people who connect the chant to this are the guy running the Jim Crow Museum and those looking awfully hard for any scrap of potentially racist material.
