I agree with all the points you've been trying to make Drolefille.

An "Across the Border" Mexican themed party (I vaguely remember this being mentioned years ago) would be offensive just like a 'Let's Dress up like Indians and put on war paint" themed party, or a "Let's Dress up in Blackface" themed party.

The girls SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE IT. PERIOD.

And them choosing to do so is in NO WAY the same thing as a bar having a special on Corona or Dos X for Cinco de Mayo and lots of non-Mexican's coming out to enjoy the said beer specials.
