 Duke fraternity suspended amid protest over party

DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — The parent organization of Kappa Sigma fraternity has suspended its Duke University chapter over a party some claimed was racist after photos surfaced of partygoers in Asian-style clothing.

Last Friday's party was reported to have featured an Asian theme, but university vice president of student affairs Larry Moneta said the title was changed to international relations after some students complained.

An Asian student group filed a complaint and held a protest rally Wednesday.
Pictures posted online showed people attending the party dressed in Asian-style clothing and a greeting that mocked Asian dialect.

Kappa Sigma executive director Mitchell Wilson said the national organization will investigate the party and take final action based on the outcome of that probe.  Moneta said the university is considering unspecified action.

I have noticed  that in US we have become so politically correct.  Who cares if some kids want to have a themed party.  I would guess black face would be a no-no.  But come on, who cares if they dress as Chinese or Indian and make fun of the accent.  It is all in fun.  I cannot believe that the University and the Parent Organization would even care about this. 

But I guess we have entered a new era of political correctness where even a few people being upset will cause action.  I am sure most people feel like me and could careless.
