Oh wow. Was this thread supposed to have nothing to do with race? Are certain GCers (who happen to be white, since we're playing that game) that obtuse?

So that's the basis for my perspective. : )

Could it maybe have anything to do with the fact that she's on video?

I guess I'm not seeing what's so impressive. In my opinion, she looked like a deer in headlights through most of this, and she stumbled over her words. Yes, she was kind of "ambushed", so her struggling to find words is understandable. I just can't comprehend why everyone thinks this is something worthy of praising ::shrugs::

I'd also like to think that both sides learned something. The woman behind the camera was a little out of line and seemed to be looking for an argument, but I would hope that MEChA and the Tri Delta President came to understand the views of each side, and that they now know context is everything.

ETA: We still haven't seen the actual costumes that were worn, so it's a little difficult to make an absolute judgment about who's "right or wrong".

Personally, I thought the guy in the video handled himself well too. He was articulate, direct, and yet respectful. Yes, the situation could have gotten out of hand, but he made sure it didn't.

Well the video has been removed by its user according to Ytube. I wonder if her privacy being invaded had anything to do with the video being taken down? Mecha is pretty out there philosophically so i'm not surprised that this sort of encounter happened.
