Apparently, Alias, we're going to have to just agree to disagree on this issue. I think that I made my points quite succinctly, and I did answer your questions to the best of my ability.
I'm sorry if you feel that I am "out of touch." As a person who has lived in the South nearly all of her life, I am quite familar with cases of racism. Some are totally valid and some aren't. I wholly support racial equality and I am very aware that racism still exists - in all parts of the country, not just the South. However, quite frankly, I feel that some people are entirely too eager to cry "discrimination" when they don't get their way about something. And the public, at times, jumps on the bandwaqon without even waiting to see the other side of the issue. I feel that this quite possibly was the case at Alabama. NPC sororities were put in a negative spotlight for not giving a bid to someone -- an act that happens every year. The only reason for that spotlight was because the person in question was black.
Have you checked to see what other minorities are members of NPC sororities at Alabama? If you do, you'll find that there are Hispanic, Latina, and Asian members in various sororities. You'll also find that some minority girls, aside from Twilley, were not offered bids during Rush. Should they be crying racism also?
It appears that we have differing opinions, Alias. But I would appreciate it if you would not assume that I am "out of touch" just because my viewpoint is different. I assure you that I am an intelligent woman who has a very firm grasp on the real world.
