And besides, almost any group/person that does something offensive and gets called out for it is going to claim it was all in good fun and not meant to be offensive - unless they're an open racist or just an idiot.

I'm not even going to touch the comparison of the GPhiB's conduct to dressing up like a Nazi and shooting "Heil Hitlers" at people. Absurd.
I don't buy that being disciplined by their National has really anything to do with the argument as to whether they should have been punished. I think the national was in a tight spot. I can understand why they acted because to not do so might have jeopardized relations with the ND administration and the administrations of other schools.
These girls were not being openly racist. They were just doing something in good fun. No one was hurt. That should have been the "end of story."
