One group has an annual party here called the "White Trash Trailer Bash".
That same group painted a building for homecoming (part of our homecoming tradition) with caricitures of native americans saying "I hate being a savage" (we're playing the Southeastern State Savages). No one has called them on either transgression.
There's plenty of ignorance to go around and it's definitely not all pointed in the same direction.
As for the "terrorist attacks"... To me that seems to be a little harsh a term. In my perception a terrorist attack has to attempt to do PHYSICAL violence while also inflicting mental violence. And the particular incedent that this thread started over (a fella dressing up as Louis Armstrong for a party) as I have stated is probably not as bad as some of these other groups who I will agree with you -- they might as well have been wearing pointy hats and burning crosses.
It amazes me sometimes how we can claim to have the greatest educational system in the world and still have such ignorant people attending its schools.
