Theme parties I attended in college: Toga, Tropical Island, 80's Prom, Sock Hop, 60's, and various award show themed — Oscars, CMAs, MTV Video Music Awards. Of the above, I suspect the ancient Greeks would take the most issue with our cultural appropriation. Why are these themes (and others like them) not good…

By that logic, anything up to, but not including, genocide is a-okay.

"THEY WERE DOING IT, TOO!"

The sibling and I tried that b.s. as kids. We both got timeouts.

I'm kind of more mad at the people who defended it. Every single bs defense line was touted out. They didn't mean to be racist? It gives the Greek system a bad rep for no reason?
And the best one: neither group was intentionally targeted.
Neither group? Yeah I'm real worried about racism against colonial white men. Boy…

"Nava-hos". Dressing up as sexy, native women- sexualizing their ethnicity and culture.

Meanwhile, real NA women have some of the highest rates of rape and sexual assault.

Obviously no connection there, right?

I mean, I get what the kid is saying. There are a lot worse things in the world - but what they don't understand is that letting this sort of shit slide leads to the worse things.

I also highly suspect that they don't do much for the worse things, either. TOO BUSY GETTING CRUNK.

My favorite is "there is so much more injustice in the world going on right now than a stupid frat party."

In my high school, we had this thing that seniors did at the last school dance. I can't describe it. Anyway, it was usually something simple like "all the seniors wear sunglasses ." Well, the girls in my class came up with three genius ideas: afro-style wigs, geisha make up, or native american headdresses.

It was a…

Are frat bros who dress up as patriarchal imperialists who think they know what's best for everyone really even wearing costumes?

This is horribly, inexcusably offensive and shows a level of cultural ignorance that should have been eradicated long ago….but as a lover of puns I was amused by the play on words of nava-hos. Then I felt terrible and washed my brain out with soap.

Cue the stupid excuse brigade!

do they not have the internet at Cal Poly? seriously...how does this keep happening.

me after reading this article

That reminds me of the one friend that posts endless selfies on my Facebook - she's transgender and as her transition continues on she feels more and more like herself and the amazing boost of self-confidence that comes from coming into a body that matches her mind causes her to take lots of selfies. And that's not a…

I mean, Van Gogh was like the original Miley Cyrus:

My favorite selfie -

I was prediabetic, I lost 60 pounds, I look fucking good, I take a lot of selfies, and you will all fucking deal with it.

"Young women take selfies because they don't derive their sense of worth from themselves, they rely on others to bestow their self-worth on them — just as they've been taught.

Oh, for pete's sake: I like to take pictures. I like to sometimes take pictures of myself. Sometimes I like to share those pictures with people.
