Actually the fraternity's national organization had a problem with the way in which the Duke chapter of Kappa Sigma is portraying/undermining its image....and they suspended the Duke chapter. Yes, a very good move on the part of the national organization.

If people would stop throwing money at this college, maybe they will wake up and smell the coffee that something is wrong, when minorities won't even indulge them of going to that school, even if they paid their full tuition and whatnot. The future will drag them down, and people who do not believe in antics such as these should not go there as well; hit these types of organizations where it hurts which is in their pockets and make them notorious as well.

Pandering = giving minorities respect...got it. Republican president in 2016? Don't hold your breath.

We can all wrap ourselves in the safe-comfy blanket that the racists out there look and sound like archie bunker and vote republican....but more and more each day they look brown, black or asian. Maybe I just notice it because of the languages I speak and my time around a broad variety of ethnicities over the years.

It's ok though, only whites can be racist, otherwise it's ok.

Lol. I know it's mostly just scoring political points and not any real outrage over racism....hence the kid gloves directed toward traditional party voters. Hmmmm.....quick question....which ethnic group commits hate crimes vs. gays at the vastly highest rate per capita?
This again shows why the GOP is losing minorities. To people like you, racism is a political word.to you, no one can genuinely believe something is racist, they must only be using it to score political points.

And no one said whites are the only ones capable of racism, but you are responding to an article where white were racist and you are defending it by simply saying "they think differently than you"

you even admitted what they did was wrong later on, you just said you have a problem with people calling it racist instead of just plain wrong.

it makes it look like you are defending racism simply because the person is white.

I merely noted how the misdeeds of rich white frat boys makes for a great big target for people to swoop in and make racist statements about whites while the ignore other instances. What's especially funny is that we had a thread about NYC flash mobs beating up indians the other day and it got 3 posts or so in before the poster was accused of racism because the flash mob was mostly black. Hmmmm, well now isn't that an interesting set of rules.

P.S. I'm not a righty, which is why I will keep dragging you back to topic while you hope I just devolve into partisan name calling like you just did. It's your only chance.
but you are deflecting.You said that democrats allow minorities to not take responsibility for their lives and that this is the reason they get the minority vote.

I completely disagree with that andit is about as off topic as it can get considering this article has nothing to do with an argument of that type. The asians being mocked did nothing wrong, they are simply being mocked for being asian and you are ,again, defending this by saying people who think different arent always wrong.

The embolden part is especially hilarious. Again it looks like you are defending what they did simply because they are white.

and for the second embolden part, no its not interesting, its precedence. I have been on many threads that have turned into " This gives us the right to kill any black person that looks at us funny". it is no different than the Obama forums where someone says " how long will it take for Godwin's law to take effect.

The poster you are talking about never once defended the actions of the people in the article( but you did), they simply said that C-D has a problem with forums like that turning into anti black forums and he/she would be right.

and yes you are a righty, maybe not a republican, but you are a righty.

Actually, this is what the nationals always do. The fraternity culture encourages this kind of behavior, then national disavows all responsibility when things go wrong. I think fraternities are an anachronism and they should be banned.

The song was only popular because it had a funny little Asian guy doing a silly dance.

With every post like this, your side loses another potential voter. Keep it up guys, keep it up.

No. It had a GUY doing a nerdy dance around goofy people. That's like saying "I'm too sexy" was popular because the guys were French.
