I mean, obviously she gave me the deal on rent because I'm white and not because I'm an out of state student struggling to make it and I went to her Bible Study classes.
So DSTChaos of course would say that your response was typically white because your response included the sentiment "I am not a racist," which, if you're not black, is obviously not true.
I really hate to get involved in this thread, but I will cretainly think twice before I participate in this event on my campus ever again - who wants to be called pathetic for their attempts at Greek unity?

Seriously?
If you decide to not participate in an event because someone may think you look pathetic that shows how much you want to do it. PrettyBoy explained his point of view for anyone that wanted to read it. Whether or not you agree with him is on you.
