By the young woman? Well, my personality undoubtedly influences my perspective. As the door answerer, it would take every nerve not to call out obnoxious behavior. Since I would be biting my tongue so hard that it would have permanent teeth marks, I see someone who is pretty calm and collected. She has a trait that does not come easily to me. So that's the basis for my perspective. : )

Idk how we got to this point, but I never intended thus thread to have to do with race. The topic in the video was secondary to why I posted it. I posted it because I'm impressed that a young college woman was so composed when caught so completely off guard. It's not easy to stay graceful under pressure.

Could it maybe have anything to do with the fact that she's on video?
I guess I'm not seeing what's so impressive. In my opinion, she looked like a deer in headlights through most of this, and she stumbled over her words. Yes, she was kind of "ambushed", so her struggling to find words is understandable. I just can't comprehend why everyone thinks this is something worthy of praising ::shrugs::
I'd also like to think that both sides learned something. The woman behind the camera was a little out of line and seemed to be looking for an argument, but I would hope that MEChA and the Tri Delta President came to understand the views of each side, and that they now know context is everything.
ETA: We still haven't seen the actual costumes that were worn, so it's a little difficult to make an absolute judgment about who's "right or wrong". |
