Why is it so hard to just accept that she was indeed offended and her feelings are valid? Why are white people so eager to undermine her experience and rally around the Theta chapter instead of trying to understand her point of view?

Also, our local Mexican restaurant uses the "nacho" phrases in their ads and they think they're hilarious. I do too.
