Does anyone have a link to the pictures? I came across them in the last couple weeks but now I can't find them. (very annoying) What I remember is that based on what I had read I was expecting people with their faces painted red (like black face). But what I saw were red hand prints and a variety of colors being used. At first I was very much "this is what's causing the problem?" After thinking about I can understand if Native Americans are offended by the photos. However, I think it's the type of image that a lot of people grew up with and so don't think it could be offensive. I firmly believe that the participants didn't intend offense. Which I think is something to be considered.

The intent isn't important.
We usually can't prove ill intentions. Even the idiots who wore black face and gold chains claimed not to have ill intentions. So there's no need to debate intent. We can, however, prove the outcomes and that's what the resulting offense and whatever harms caused are based on.

I respectfully disagree. I think intent is important to how the situation should be handled. I don't think intent invalidates the results though.

Sanctioned for not being politically correct. Might as well just tear up the Constitution.

It must be an oxymoron that some of the dumbest things such as these, happens on college campuses.
Just because you are in college doesn't mean you are 'smart'.
Socially or bookwise.

Exactly why intent doesn't matter.
