This to me seems a little bit of a stretch that this was directed as a racial slur. However those guys are idoits for not thinking about what the possible reactions would be, that some people would be offended.
This is similar to the Auburn chapter of Beta Theta Pi last year. They were the ones who were in Black face with the Omega Psi Phi jerseys, not the Klan hoods.
As many of you know they were suspended almost immediatly, and I was one of the first to condemn them. However as the facts have come out, the picture we see is one entirely different than what was originally thought. It turns out that the chapters of Beta and Omega Psi Phi are actually on really good terms. The chapters had exchanged jerseys previously, and the Beta Chapter had actually sponsored the Omega Chapter for colonization. The act of dressing as another race was also frequent at Auburn. Now this doesn't mean it was a good idea, but it demonstrates that sometimes the facts get skewed...
