Amazing how you can find plastic leis derogatory but not Shaq's mockery of the Chinese language. There's something to roll your eyes over.
XOXO,

I said it in that thread, and I'll say it again...Shaq's an idiot. Idiot comments like that are expected. I don't agree with what he said because what he said wasn't right,
IT JUST DIDN'T BOTHER ME AS MUCH AS IT BOTHERED YOU. 
<---I'll roll my eyes to that.
In this day and age where GLOs are supposed to embrace diversity and celebrate other cultures, I find it odd that most would continue to do luau themed parties. adduncan did bring up a great idea by consulting Hawaii Clubs in your area. I'm sure they'd be a great resource for ideas that all can enjoy.
If anyone's interested, here's a link to a story about a luau controversy at
Dartmouth, which happened a few years back. I know that most luau parties are not meant to be controversial, but it offends more people than you could imagine.
Shark in skirt, keep on insulting my opinions if you wish. I don't expect you to agree with me either. I just wanted to make sure that others were aware of this.
This will be my last post on the subject as I've already made it known how I feel about it. Rather than let this escalate into an all-out bitchfest just like the other threads, I'll let the discussion continue without further interruption from me.
Have a nice day.
