"We are protesting the culture of acceptance at these kinds of things," Ting-Ting Zhou, president of the Asian Students Association, told the Chronicle.

Couldn't they have picked someone with a less stereotypically Asian name to be their spokesman? That's like having a guy name Nacho Beanero as the head of the Mexican Club or some shiat.

Seeing how they're Duke coeds, I think they put blank circles over the girls' faces as a favor.

"We are resolved to use these events as learning opportunities."

East Asia has the most racism by volume and per-capita. Despite giant moral failings like that by Western standards, they're simultaneously admired for their ability to perform well on standardized tests and their work ethic, which is really only high because otherwise you flounder in their societies and they don't stoop to pick up those who fall with a billion replacements outside the door asking to be let in.

Duke has sucked long time.

super_grass		2013-02-07 02:26:47 AM

It's not racist when minorities do it.

Whites are a minority in a lot of departments in top tier schools while Asians are taking over.

I keep hearing this. Yet when I go to asia there's only reverse racism towards me. What are you, asian? Else please cite something...

So what? This is Duke, no East Asia.

Yes, but again, it's an Asian themed party and you can't have an authentic atmosphere without some of that exotic oriental prejudice.

For added realism, they can set up shops in front of the Black Students' Union and charge them extra for groceries and follow the customers around inside.

OgreMagi		2013-02-07 02:36:44 AM

People get bent out of shiat too easily these days. Besides, the Asian Students Association is a racist organization so fark 'em.

doglover		2013-02-07 02:43:20 AM

Dow Jones and the Temple of Doom: What is reverse racism?

Acceptance?

JosephFinn: So what?

So what? Cultural acceptance is not the same as political correctness. Once you truly accept another culture as equals, you can start bustin' their chops. In other words, "racist" parties like this one are a good sign that the culture has assimilated nicely.

There was a time when an "Asian party" was ambushing five Chinamen at night with crow bars, beating them to death, and burying their heathen bodies 25 feet down under the railroad bed. THAT is racism. THAT is a social problem. This is a drinking party.

The email invitation closed with a mocking "Chank You."

I don't get it, Asians don't replace "T" with a "C".

"The Brothers of Kappa Sigma understand the unfortunate negative impact their event has had on the Duke community," Riker wrote. "Through this experience, we welcome the opportunity to become more socially aware Greeks, Duke students and human beings."

Oh give me a break. If you're 18+ years old and you don't know by now that would be offensive you're a clod. Apparently that's a lot of the frat people at Duke.

doglover		2013-02-07 02:50:13 AM

A proper response from the Asian Association would be to hold some kind of Honky Party where you wear dirty overalls and a wife beater, chug Bud Light and bourbon, and have a toy car spin counter clockwise the entire time to mock NASCAR. I'd go to that party.

You know, there just aren't that many Asian guys that are old enough to hold that position and have the name Steve.

We had a homeless party, and a white trash party recently. Who cares, it's a fun theme party. If a group of Asian people had a honky party I'd LMAO. Get over yourselves people.

GreenSun		2013-02-07 03:03:34 AM

I paid attention and didn't get offended. Or maybe I should be offended when I see a non-westerner wear a complete suit and tie or even a tuxedo?

Damn it, those Asians are so racist, they wear western clothing everyday! They are worse than Hitler! :P

Pretty sure a Honky Frat Party involves tea bagging by other males and sticking ping pong balls up the drunk guys arse, while still claiming to be straight.
/Never understood what would make a 18-22 y/o straight male think it's funny to even want their junk near another man's body

Good. My experience is that Asians are typically not as big as assholes as Whites, so it's a win-win.

The ABCs, absolutely.

TheJoe03		2013-02-07 03:14:37 AM

I find this story interesting because Asians, out of all the minorities in this nation, have been the least vocal about racism. This kind of stuff might not be the best jump off point just because it's not a serious problem, you can't expect privileged white frat people to not throw ignorant drunk frat parties.

You had a HOMELESS party? That is HILARIOUS! What's better than making fun of drug addicts and the mentally ill? Their lives are terrible! We're so clever!
Seriously, you're awful. The reason this party is inappropriate is because it perpetuates the "othering" of a minority group instead of fostering an atmosphere of inclusion. Watch "Animal House", have a toga party, and quit being such a ridiculous asshole.

We had a $20 cover, and donated the money to the homeless shelter. That evens it out right.... right?

I think sticking stuff up asses is every young men's drinking party since time immemorial. I would bet ALL of my money that every culture has this. When you're drunk, butts are funny.
