That's none of my concern. I'm not white so I can't answer your question.

I'm talking bad enough to get suspended over and have the frat shut down.

Personally, I have no use for frats but that's a pretty hefty penalty to lay out on some kids.
I figure the problem is either one of two situations...

The school is being a bit overly PC...

Or, some major details are being left out of the story and the school doesn't feel the need to comment any further on it.

Or a possible mixture of both.

I would bet you a case of beer that a "White trash trailer park" themed party would have been embraced by the school. But mocking idiots in gangs? Nah, there might be black person that would take offense to a gang being mocked. Never mind that we have morons in white gangs as well.

Well be my guest in continuing to view everything with a color perspective.

Myself - I wake up every morning at 6am, put on a tie and take the subway to work. Work hard, look forward to seeing my wife when I get home, and am working towards starting a family. We hope to instill family values of education, honesty, hard work, respect, and caring for others.

I relate or associate myself with people who have similar outlooks on life, regardless of what color they may be. What do I consider my peer group? My friends, coworkers, etc of all colors much more than some low life gangster just b/c he's white.

And really, why is that any of your concern?

Why is it stupid?

Agreed. As usual posters here on both sides get to be all outraged long before the facts come out and then never change their position on the matter as evidence comes out.

No, it was a bunch of black students.
I get it that blacks are offended when people paint them all with one broad brush stroke because of a black crime. After all not all blacks are criminals. When we do this we are racist.

However, when blacks now want to be lumped all together with criminals they lose credibility. Cant have it both ways.

If actual Crips or "Hillbillies" decided that they were offended and dropped by for a "chat-chat" at the next party, not only would the SAE boys wet their pants, but other people might actually get hurt. I am pretty sure the school wouldn't want to payout for the lawsuits that would follow.

Juvenile frat boy mentality has no valuable place in college.
