Duke University Kappa Sigma Fraternity Draws Accusations Of Racism With 'Asia Prime' Party

An email promoting the party features the puppet character of former Korean leader Kim Jong-Il from "Team America: World Police" and reads "Herro Nice Duke Peopre" in a misspelling intended to convey an east Asian accent.

Students at Duke University in Durham, N.C., gathered Wednesday to protest anti-Asian prejudice after a fraternity hosted a "racist rager" party last week replete with literature that lampooned Asian students.

The rally was planned after Kappa Sigma fraternity — which was allowed to return to campus last year after having dissolved in 2002 amid a misconduct investigation — threw a theme party Friday at which attendees dressed up in stereotypical Asian costumes, the campus newspaper, The Chronicle, reported.

"Something is deeply wrong with Duke. Something is deeply wrong with our community," a representative of the association said at the gathering Wednesday afternoon. "... This protest is about the destructive prejudice that must be uprooted from every corner of Duke to make this place an inclusive and safe place for all."

**** Duke, go Terps!

To answer your question, a lot of these kids probably come from upper-middle and upper-class, predominantly white homes.

Just because something isnt acceptable to you, or others for that matter, doesnt mean it is wrong.

I'm sure you do things that other people would find unacceptable. Should you be prohibited from doing them?

Another racist frat party at Duke? When was the first one?

I guess it doesn't help matters that the president of the Asian Club is named Ting-Ting.
