Anyway, the point I was/am trying to make, is that issues such as this tend to get so far out of whack, its rediculous. I mean what the Beta's and Delta Sigs did at Auburn was horrible, they paid their price, they learned from it and moved on. But these kids, dang, they just dressed up, it wasn't offensive, it wasn't hatred, it was just some individuals who got all pi$$ed off over something little and went to war with it.
Thats why P.C. America sucks today. If a black female dressed up as Celine Deion in "white face, I'd think it was hilarious, as would almost everyone else.
This is a GREAT quote from todays FoxNews.com:
"Patrick and Lisa in Albuquerque write:
Ah, the double standard in Albuquerque again. Where is El Centro de la Raza or the Chicano studies department at UNM when it comes to one of the local eateries here in Albuquerque, namely the eight Garcia's Kitchen's? Their marketing logo, worn on all employees' shirts, proudly states "Help stamp out gringo food."
Can you imagine the uproar if I used the word "spic" or, God forbid, the "n" word (as we now have to refer to it) in an Anglo promotion?
Oh yeah, that's right, only white people are offensive, and only "minorities" can be offended. "

Thank you, im glad im not the only one that sees this issue. You can people go on TV all day saying "cracker" "honkey" "white trash" etc etc...and nobody sees it really as a problem, but if one derogitory term is used towards a minority then its the end of the world (I'm actually white and im a minority in my community, so yes whites are minorites too now).
Now if a white person was to make a big deal about being called a cracker, people would think of him as overreacting, correct?
Double standard and reverse racism....
