I actually agree with this. I think everyone has the right to show how classless, tasteless, and racially insensitive they can behave.
Nothing says NPC / IFC/ NIC like white kids mocking the cultures of others in the name of fun.

Right, let them be protested, let the newspaper publish editorials, publish their photos, let these things be published in social media and people be held up to public ridicule for any stupidity.
The line is drawn at government intervention. It's a clear line. Schools should know better.

What a dipshit thing to do to mock cultural norms of those not like you because you think it is a joke.

Cultural norms??? Did you even look at what this party was or are you just jumping on the overzealous outrage bandwagon? I'm so very sorry that someone made light of the very serious cultural "event" which was Kanye's Golddiger song. Oh my God. All of the outrage. And "those not like you"? I'm sure if you checked the itunes playlists of these kids, these songs being "mocked" as you put it can be found there. Whose culture do you think is being mocked? Are you suggesting that American Pop Culture is the exclusive province of some race? Or does it just deserve its own outrage category altogether?
Blackface is bad, this ain't it.
Border jumping parties where one side dresses up as stereotypical Mexicans and the other side border police is bad. This ain't it.
Cowboys and Indians... again, this ain't it.

I did look. They party was mocking a song by an AfAm artist.
Why don't y'all make fun of Luke Bryan, Kenny Chesney and Tammy Wynette. I mean, every C&W song is just ripe for mockery.

And what's your point? So any music by any AfAm artist is somehow sacrosanct and is now too serious to be mocked in any way? Okay.. so that is a new rule. Kanye West is so super serious, must be taken seriously.. gotcha.

You don't get to use the word "y'all" in this context unless you agree I can say "you people."

Fabulous. In this sentence, you committed every bit as grave a sin as anyone in any of these UCLA chapters. Your organization should be suspended pending investigation.

I don't even think Kanye takes himself this seriously. And that's saying a lot.
Also--pop singers are way more visible than C&W singers so it's a weak comparison. they're simply not in the public eye as much.
Listen, there wasn't even blackface at this party. The professional outragers barked up the wrong tree and now a lot of innocent people are being punished. Ugh.

Wait what? White people can't use music by African Americans at parties?
You're seriously grasping at straws here.

I think her reaction to this sums up the reaction of a lot of these UCLA students who really, honestly, don't understand what they are outraged about. It's kind of a "Bless your heart" moment.

Outraged at the continued display of immaturity by adults who view those that are different from them as a chance to ridicule.
