^That one is relevant to this campus.

I just don't consider that much of an explanation or defense -- tu quoque fallacy.

You have zero insight into their membership selection and what they are seeking behind closed doors... for all we know they wanted every minority who went through recruitment, and those women chose to go elsewhere. Featuring SOME women who are blonde doesn't equal racism or discrimination. However, it would seem to me that you are very happy jumping to conclusions and judging these women on three minutes of video you saw on YouTube.

I haven't claimed to have any insight into their membership -- I very much doubt they intend to attract only girls like those depicted in the video.

It is the depiction of a stereotype I object to -- I am not judging them to be the stereotype.

If you love the video, you are certainly entitled to love it and express your opinion. I don't even mind if you disagree with my opinion. Relax.
