That's the type of elitism a lot of sororities and fraternities promote.

Yeah. Personally, I feel the Mexicans should have a little fun themselves and take a pic portraying themselves as filthy rednecks as a response.

Not. a. single. word.

The problem is that it isn't Latinos that are getting outraged, it's the white liberal PC police who think Latinos SHOULD be outraged that are.

All this crying racism at the drop of a hat has only made the majority of us jaded toward such claims, and has made it really hard to seperate the signal from the noise when real cases of racial discrimination occur.

Here, I found a photo of yet another thoughtless racist:

Bullcrap. My wife had quite the WTF moment, as did her family.

I know you are an aggrieved white person in America because of minorities. I know it hurts that the world isn't as safe for white bigots anymore, but I don't care what you think. So if you respond to me further understand that underlying all of my words is that complete lack of caring about your opinion.

Now in terms of my framing of bigotry. I did no such thing. You can foolishly believe what you want.

His point was that not only should the world not be a haven for white bigots, but that it shouldn't be a haven for non-white bigots, neither. Of course, you sound like you are a bigot yourself, so it's only logical that would be the reason why you failed to understand where he was coming from.

There's a tourist trap on either 75 or 95 (I forget which one) but as cross into the state you can take a picture that says "greetins from the south" and the background is an old shack with a rocking chair and this huge hound dog (its not real). But they provided costumes, cowboy hats and shotguns for the boys, shower caps and housecoats for the girls...I saw one family take their picture eating huge slices of watermelon...

You would think Southerners around the world would gather up and demand this place be shut down but I seriously doubt most people care.

I think this whole PC nonsense is so over the top stupid. I grew up in the 80s and never once did I watch those Spanish mice get drunk and fall asleep and think "oh this is what Mexican people do" nor was I offended by the crows when I was watching Dumbo or by King Louie wanting to be a person. I wasn't even aware that other people were offended by these things until I had a child and started running into these busy body mothers who spend all day scouring the internet to look for something offensive.


If you wanna be offended, be offended but don't start this "everyone who is not offended is an idiot" platform...some of us are just too busy to stop everything to be enraged over a group of college kids acting like college kids.

Nat, I wanted to let you know I 100% agree with your post. It seems that when you make a legitimate point on these threads that no one can argue against there is a lack of response...sort of like you never posted. Well, you hit the nail on the head

If there are any racially exclusive fraternities in America, they're all white.

Point noted. Zach Galifianakis is White and he is a member of Kappa Alpha Psi, a historically Black fraternity.

I find the new rude behavior of the younger crowd is the old polite behavior of the older crowd. Sorry to say that it seems you younger people don't get IT.
