That's not at all the same thing.

I guess Italians and Greeks are going to be whining about toga parties next.

Why would Greeks be whining about toga parties? Togas are Roman, not Greek.

And last I heard they hadn't been rounded up on reservations in their native lands.

It wasn't yesterday - if you check the date, it was the end of March. And yes, that is a long time from the time of the party in November. We've discussed this before in another thread.

Yeah.. and the last time it was started here, I moved it to the GL forum. I suppose this could also legitimately fall under the RM heading though, although I'm not really seeing where anyone was ever at risk from this party for anything but butthurtedness.

How is that relevant? Were the girls dressing up as Indians for a "Trail of Tears" party?

Your analogy of Italians and Greeks having the same historical grievances as Native Americans doesn't fit.

Why?

So what about everyone else pitches a complaint from PCNess?

Everyone has historical grievances. The Romans have historical grievances against the Visigoths, Ostragoths, Vandals, Germans, etc.

So I suppose that if I have Visigoth lineage, I'd better not be caught wearing a Toga, eh?
