The Young Communist League of SA has lodged a complaint over an opinion piece in the University of Cape Town's student newspaper, the SA Human Rights Commission said on Friday.

"We confirm we received a complaint on Thursday and we are busy looking into it. The respondents in this matter are the Varsity newspaper, the editorial staff, and UCT," said SAHRC spokesman Isaac Mangena.

Im with the communist league on this one. Whichever dumb cunt set up that baited survey and only asked 60 people for input deserves to be falcon punched.

Even if they surveyed the entire UCT, it's short-sighted, unnecessary and causing shit where shit need not be caused.

Yeah its bullshit but come on...lodging a formal complain against a student newspaper is fckin weak. They aren't even proper journalists yet...

The white woman in the picture is clearly the most attractive. Oh wait...I'm a white male...making me totally not biased.

If I were the head of the journalism school I would kick out those students who wrote that piece, for at least a year, since they piece was so poorly researched they obviously aren't learning anything at varsity.

number one job of a newspaper is to sell copies....and with that article, i am pretty sure they achieved that.

Not really, that would be temporary spike which would lead to long term decline. People read newspapers they trust, so once you lose the trust you will find it very hard to get it back again.

In other words, bad business.
