How have I missed the outrage here over the UConn basketball players giving Prez Obama bunny ears?



President Barack Obama welcomed the University of Connecticut women's basketball team to the White House on Wednesday, commending the team on its record-tying eighth NCAA national championship and calling its players role models for women both on and off the court.

"As the father of two young, beautiful, athletic and tall daughters, it just always puts a smile on my face whenever I see such class acts represent their school and their country so well," Obama said.

In return, Huskies center Stefanie Dolson gave the president "bunny ears" as he posed for photos with the team.

It wasn't the only lighthearted moment at the ceremony.

on edit: Or, is it racism because the two girls doing it are white? (I only just noticed)
