Do you realize you are saying the same thing that I am saying? You are simply calling it a "larger cultural issue"
(you now are using "culture" to mean something larger than Greekdom--that's good). It is R-A-C-E. Social class is highly correlated with R-A-C-E. White college students from mostly privileged backgrounds who mock racial and ethnic minorities are doing it based on R-A-C-E. Social class and privileged background vary by R-A-C-E. After all, those idiots at ASU weren't mocking their fellow white people. You can keep calling it "culture" if you choose (white people tend to play word games because it keeps the warm and fuzzy going) but that does not stop it from being R-A-C-E.
Now that we've got that ironed out, I'm glad you were honest about what "culture" means in this instance and stopped playing the "Greek Life problems" game.
