I'm sure many Asians would be offended to be remotely associated with these over the top protests.
Am I suggesting they be silent? Not really. Maybe send a letter to the editor of the student newspaper, maybe hold an event promoting awareness, whatever. But day after day of protest? Demanding the offending organization be disbanded? I'm just saying there's a more moderate and reasonable course here.

who said they get approval OVER other organizations? they chose to protest a cause they felt was just. just like any other organization. i have yet to insinuate that they speak for all asians. they speak for their organization. there may be a group such as "asians for whites dressing as gieshas" that may be completely cool about this party. if they are, they should come out and do a counter protest.
you can demand whatever you want, whether or not it occurs is a different matter. free speech works both ways. don't get mad for being called a bigot when you say or do something that makes you look like a bigot.
