Easily-offended snowflake student freak out over...a cotton centerpiece??

The president of a small private college invited some black students to his home.  Apparently there's now a decor trend that uses cotton stalks as a table centerpiece, and that was the case in the president's home.

Well...one charmless female was outraged!  and expressed her outrage on social media.  Seems she was offended or triggered by the cotton, cuz it reminded her of how one-and-a-half centuries ago, her ancestors were among the many people--of all races--who picked cotton.  But because some of her ancestors may have been slaves, she saw the centerpiece as offensive.

Here's a pic of the offensive centerpiece, and her reaction:

So I attend Lipscomb university and as most of you know that is a predominately white school. Tonight AFRICAN AMERICAN students were invited to have dinner with the president of the school. As we arrived to the president's home and proceeded to go in we seen cotton as the center pieces. We also stood and ate dinner, there were no seats to sit in and it felt very uncomfortable. We were very offended, and also the meals that were provided resembled many "black meals" they had mac n cheese, collard greens, corn bread etc. The night before Latinos also had dinner at his house and they had tacos. They also DIDN'T have the center piece that we HAD tonight. A couple of minutes went by, the president was coming around and asking for our names and what our major was. He finally got to our table and  my friend @kay_cyann asked why there was cotton on the table as the center piece. His response was that he didn't know, he seen it before we did, he kind of thought it was " fallish", THEN he said " it ISNT INHERENTLY BAD IF WERE ALL WEARING  IT " then walked off. Later on all of us that were there were invited into the home, and we had the impression that we were coming to speak about how us as Black people feel about Lipscomb. The whole entire time we were in their home they only talked about themselves( how they met, got married and ended up at lipscomb) & the ONLY question that we were asked was our transformation coming to lipscomb. A couple of women answered the question but they sugar coated it. They said any other questions that we may have can be emailed to the advocate for the Latinos and that a second meeting may be held. Also we don't have an advocate on campus, the only African American advocate we had, no longer works here. The only advocate available to us is the advocate for the Latinos. They claim to have funding for minorities, BUT you have to live up to the expectations of a typical Black family to even get the 1000$.There is NO FUNDING for just us black students. #share

Ah, well...certainly.  Triggered by cotton.  How could the college president have been so insensitive?

Do you suppose this same snowflake is triggered by the cotton ball used to package bottles of aspirin and other over-the-counter pills?  How long before companies are pressured by snowflakes to put warning labels on those bottles reading

"TRIGGER WARNING:  To prevent damage during shipping this product is packed with a cotton ball.  If you are triggered by the sight of cotton DO NOT OPEN THIS BOTTLE, but call this telephone # and we'll ship you a special container without the cotton ball."

And of course the next step will be for the snowflakes to demand that companies substitute polyester for cotton.  In which case the trigger warning will still be needed, but will read

"TRIGGER WARNING: The packing inside this bottle strongly resembles cotton, which may trigger emotional reactions in certain people.  However, the material is NOT cotton."

One wonders how such easily-offended people can bring themselves to wear cotton clothes without having a fit.  Which suggests that the next step will be trigger warnings on cotton clothes.
