i don't think Vito was challenging him on that fact, but rather on the entire post. It was just weird.

That's for sure, I just thought it was odd that he chose the most coherent thing in the post to emphasize in bold font. Other than that, let the mocking continue...

I think it was because the Fresh Prince was intimating that TKE is the ONLY fraternity that does so, even nowadays. That, obviously, is far from the truth.

Did that register?
Gee, I guess I need to reconsider the fraternity I'm in, because we discriminate so heavily.

Oh, what I mean was the "TKE is one of the few fraternities that doesn't discriminate." While historically that is true, it isn't the case any more and hasn't been for a decent amount of time.

But to be fair, he didn't say "is"; he did state it in the past tense:
Quote:
I myself am an African American in one of the few fraternities that had no limitations in terms of race, color, creed, or sexual orientation.
That is, he kept it in the past tense until he responded to you:
Quote:
I'm Black. But I'm not in a Black fraternity, nor am I in a fraternity that cares about race/religion/sexual orientation.
Continue.
