Fine,

Call it "8 mile", whatever. My point was that this Hip Hop/Ghetto culture has been infiltrated by members of races besides African-Americans, and to me, that makes it more of a mainstream kind of culture. Hence, in itself, a Ghetto Fabulous party isn't racist.

I will grant you that it is a poor choice of theme, but, if the organization says, ok, this is our theme, these are acceptable and these are unacceptable costumes and noone shows up dressed inappropriately then in my eyes, "No Harm, No Foul". However, most organizations probably wouldn't do that, therefore inviting trouble when someone does something stupid.

Ok, i think it's a crappy idea, and if it was ever brought up in my chapter i'd vehemently protest it, but the idea isn't in itself racist.
