Hmmmmm. Everybody who went to SFU in the late '80s is probably aware of
Mr. Protais. He made a career of offbeat, to be polite about it,
campaign/crusades for student government and other positions of
semi-authority on campus.

I also seem to remember that his main campaign plank was the alleged
racism of basically everything and everybody he saw around him.

Unfortunately, it seems what is politely tolerated in a campus
environment becomes a cause celebre in the real world.
