Is a "Pimps and Ho's Party" disrepectful??? - Page 13

We used to have Executive and Secretary party (Ex's and Sec's). It was a lot of fun. One of the party I was not able to be a part of (this happened before I rushed), was "anything but clothes" party...pretty easy, you show up to the party wearing anything but clothes. Be creative.

Okay back to the original thread. I don't think it's degrading, afterall, it's a social event and let's just have some fun and enjoy each other's company

Anyone who posted that this theme isn't racist should ask Don Imus how he feels about that.

Oh shut the f**k up. If you think a harmless "pimps and hos" mixer (although a really queer and GDI theme) is "racist" then you need to reevaluate your need to keep living.

I was born in Taiwan and I'm as yellow as it can be. There. Call me a racist

oops, let me add that my wife is white, so my kids are gonna be f'd because they are going to be a mutt. hmmm let them fill out their ethnicity...caucasian...asian? whatever

sorry for being off-topic.

I think the original topic is more towards derogatory names towards women...I'm pretty sure that there are white/yellow/red ho's out there, not just black ho's.

sheesh.

Why not change it up a little? How about "40s and Shorties" that was a theme for a party around here a while back.

yipes. Pimps & Hos might not be racist, but that theme definitely is.

Unless, of course, they're all dressing up like 40 year old people or Herve Villechaize.

Racist? That's absolutely ridiculous.

Yeah, God forbid non-black people have a party themed around 40 oz bottles of malt liquor.

I don't see using the words "pimps" and "hoes" as being racist either. Pimps and hoes come in all types of skin tones. The bottom line is they're both trifling, in any race, and I wouldn't attend a party with a theme like that anyway.

Kinda surprised that 5 years later this is still running...

if anyone has any questions about why parties like these are not a good idea....

either ask Sigma Chi or read this:

and oddly enough it's been almost a year to the day that this has happened.

Every theme is going to upset somebody. A fraternity obn my campus had a WWII Party and one of my sisters was upset because she is jewish. I don't think they meant any harm by it. A couple of brothers were jewish but not offended by it. There were a lot of girls dressed really cute. Some like Rosie the riveter, some like Pin up girls, some in camo attire. Overall it was a very fun party. My sister attended and everything was fine until one of the brothers had numbers on his wrist like in concentration camp...she was furious. Which I understand. It didn't even make it any better in her opinion that the brother was jewish...moral of the story any theme could offend someone.

He was Jewish so I wonder if he was attempting a misplaced history lesson or if he was making light of it. Sometimes people will downplay things that their ethnic group experienced so they can be part of the crowd.

I have heard of people getting their grandparents'/relatives' numbers tattooed on their forearms to commemorate them and spread awareness about the Holocaust after their passing. It's not common, but it's been done.

I hope he was attempting something similar.

I don't believe he was trying to make a statement. I believe it's that later that he was just making light of it. Which is sad
