Yes, the similarity is that some people find all these things to be offensive. Are you going to try and tell me that your being offended is worht more than someone else being offended? That's pretty darned arrogant.
People opposed to abortion (again, I'm not one of them, but I think this is a great example) believe that abortion is the same as killing babies. What you are saying is that it's okay to offend someone who thinks you're promoting baby killing, but an action
which states nothing racist, but makes you feel they had racial intentions is not okay? Those are some interesting lines you've drawn there.

There's right and wrong. What they did was wrong. It WAS offensive if black women do find it offensive. That's reality.

So you'd like the government to protect you from things which offend people? Or just things which offend only you?
You're asking for the government to close an organization
which can't even directly be connected to the event. Their only connection was that these (two?) kids were members and they were doing something which caused contraversy. So far, you nor anyone has been able to show the fact that Chi Phi is directly responsible for this.
You'd have the University penalize the entire organization without a shred of proof other than circumstance and speculation just because some probationary members did something maybe on their own accord which angered you. Am I not accurate?
