Change of plan: St Edmund's College, Cambridge, has dropped plans for a Gone With The Wind themed summer ball after complaints it was racist

Forced?

A Cambridge University college was forced to drop plans for a 'racist' Gone With The Wind themed ball after complaints from students.

St Edmund's College had planned to theme its annual summer ball around the 1939 Oscar-winning film staring Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable.

However, organisers have been forced to abandon their original plans, and instead re-brand the event the Journey Through The Seasons ball after concerns were raised over the racism in the film.
