What is happening at Boston College/Greater Boston Area

As you probably heard, there was a very racist remark made at a Trump rally in New York by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe on October 27th, where he stated "I don’t know if you know this, but there’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now.
