Content Warning (I don't think there are any swears, but I'll say it anyway because...blackface) www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=4bEz9RTsie8The only reason I found out about this is because I graduated from that university. The school has some pretty good ethnic studies programs (I actually minored in Asian-American studies) and you'd think these guys would know better in 2013. |

I think the only thing surprising about this is that it's another minority frat.

They probably just don't care. It's possible. However, I know the university does have somewhat of a stigma in being in what is called the Orange County bubble where people are far less aware of how their actions come off than they should be. |

I'm old enough to remember the Black and White Minstrel show. That was considered dodgy in the 70's in the UK. In the 70's.

Why would you ever film and release a video of that?

I've never been a big fan of frats and sororities. I know there are exceptions such as service oriented groups that help out their community and smaller groups that don't haze or do dumb shit like this but when I see frats and sororities do stupid things like this, I take solace in this one fact:
They had to buy their friends.

You'd think that since they themselves are of a minority group, that they would know better than to do that.

Is it wrong to say that when I saw the title of this thread I automatically assumed that it was going to be a bunch of stupid bro fisting,
white boy douchebags trying to be edgy.
But my missus summed up it best "way to go boys by proving people of all colors and creeds can be clueless racist morons"

Why would you ever film and release a video of that? It rhymes with "detention". |

Why would you ever film and release a video of that? It rhymes with "detention". Retention? |

I didn't see the big deal. He was playing a role, it clearly said "as Jay-z". These dudes are probably not at all racist and didn't even think that making a video where they act like artists they admire would ever be controversial.
This isn't racism it's imitation and imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
