xp2k,
sorry to come off as offended, i thought you were referrinmg specifically to my post. my other question, what about when comedians darken their faces to impersonate black celebrities, for instance, the man show impersonating carl malone, or snl impersontating jesse jackson? what about eddie murphy impersonating a white character? are these racial offensive, and likewise unacceptable?
i've never heard any public outcry or legal actions against these forms of comedy. what determines what is exceptable? secondly, were these groups sentured because they were greek? these aren't retorical questions. i think it is really important to think about what determines if something is acceptable, and why.
