In the thread about women of color in NPC, I wrote:

Is that more along the lines of what you're looking for?

And really, what does pointing out racist incidents really prove? That some people are racists? DUH! Where does this get us in the long run? How many times does it need to be said that yes, there are some racist people in the world -- before we decide thatwe can either hide under a rock living in fear that we might run into a racist brother or sister, or that we forge ahead and be the best (insert Fraternity name here) we can be -- despite the odds?

For me, I chose the latter.
