For what it is worth, my chapter had a "Starring Val and his Leading Gals" (Val Kilmer) party hah.
But, and let's make this perfectly clear, in this particular case the man in question is literally the biggest celebrity figure in the media and has been for many, many years now. The only figure possibly bigger than him is his wife, a white woman, who was also very clearly a focal part of this event.
If this was, say, a "Master P Make Em Say UGHHHHH" party, it'd be very clear we'd have a problematic focus on race. Also, this particular party cannot stand alone...I understand that GLOs have a long history of offensive ethnic parties.
But to say a party focused around a black and white couple, who are literally the most famous, mocked (in media), covered celebrities on the planet was based off of race and not off of the fame is stretching. I'll need way more proof.
