#RacistRager - Duke Kappa Sigma party ignites firestorm of criticism

Sidebar: Is the name of the party "Racist Rager" (going from the hashtag)?

I'm not one to get offended by everything race-related, but if this group hosted the party with the intent of being racists, they can't backpedal and act like all the backlash is a shock.

No it wasn't. It was Kappa Sigma Asian Prime (their chapter name is Eta Prime)


I do think the theme is very insensitive, and the wording in the email is outright stupid.
Outrage? No.

I don't think so. I think that is what the flyers against the party were calling it. Also while I think that the emails went far beyond the line, I don't really understand why there was so much outrage over the theme. A couple of the pictures were pushing it, like the girl with the peace sign, but I don't see anything wrong with an Asian theme. It is a very different culture, which would be fun to dress up as every once in a while.

OK, makes sense. Thanks.

Still stupid as fuck, though.
