heh jesus, long post is long.
at the sarcasm bit, fair enough, i meant it in a lighthearted way but it seems to have boiled your blood beyond return, so fair is that it was "not warranted".
slavery =/= dressing up, your saying my analogies were bad, while yes they may not have been amazing, as i was just going for the matter of fact the "theme" and "dressing up" as what the fact of those events are based on, slavery is by far wayyyyy far off comparatively. Now we weren't actually there, so I can't tell you if they just "dressed up" or truly were mimicking wiggers in every sense of the word, but dressing up is dressing up, which is the point i was getting at with the theme/social party argument, BUT if you DO remember i did point out that was for social/public events, which is why i was surprised the school allowed it. And on the last part on those parties, I haven't been to one, as that would take alot of work to mimic greeks in every sense of the word, and based on the fact that i dont like greek food i would probably pass on that part, as would alot of people i know, but i don't see how that is ignorant/stupid.
if greeks had an "american party" where they walked around like fatasses and ate fatty foods talking in an awful american accent, i would probably laugh and not care, if it happened at a greek school? i would once again be surprised the school allowed it.
what i was getting at with the wife beater part
wife beater - a term used with these types of shirts
alot of men get wrongly "perpetrated"
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/perpetrate into "abusing" their partners, and that is where the term "wife beater" is coined from, as most of those men are seen wearing those shirts or are put into police cars with that shirt on, most of the time it was used in slang with very ghetto or minority based races, alot of times it was used to discriminate against when people would be seen wearing them.
you kind of picked that one apart a little to closely, so i'm not going to get into it, and it wasn't meant to be much of a point there outside of just a wife beater theme
in not a single point in my post(s), did i ever "justify the schools actions", please quote it because i do not see it. Now based on the fact that the school said they would do something, which if it is true they did not do anything, then yeah I can see why a student would get a bit unsettled because of that. I still don't get how i would make the remark in my first comment if i thought i was wrong..that does not compute?
and while i've not seen "snotty white person day" i have seen some close to it, such as "Prep kid" day, where everyone wears shin socks/kacki's/striped tie with white shirt and possible a sweater vest if you got one, and quite afew people had slicked/combed hair involved with it.
hm. condescending suits you well i see, i came in more light hearted, for the fun of it, but it seems "serious business is serious" was what your intentions were there pretty hardcore, so i'll let you feel mighty and proud stepping on my wonderfully learned peasantry education, and my suspect grasp of english.
