Perhaps they knew and just didn't care? To me, it doesn't matter if something I does happens to offend a few hippies or native american activists or whatnot.
Heck.. me opening my trap to defend these girls has probably shaved a year off of someone's life already. I guess I should wait for the process server to serve me those papers since I clearly "discriminated" against someone.
I can think of any number of themed parties, e.g. white trash, gangsta & ho, or toga (alert the Greco-Roman anti defamation league!) which happen routinely all over the country, rarely drawing any criticism whatsoever. This is no different than any of those cases except the connection to a race of people and the relevance of stereotypes is probably even more tenuous than usual.
