Maybe this is what Bill Maher was talking about ,we have become too politically correct

98. All you have to do is look at some of the photos on the net and it is clear what these

frat "phi-estas" are all about. She wasn't saying anything that wasn't obvious to anyone who had participated in one of them in the past. There is no question that dressing up in a caricature costume--or even wearing a tee shirt depicting a sombrero and a halfassed/ersatz Aztec-ish design using the colors of the Mexican flag--is schmaltzy at best. And I really can't see a connection between eating American ideations of Mexican food overloaded with guacamole and chips, topped off by sweet drinks that are easily adulterated with adult beverage additions, and cardiac care, except maybe that eating that stuff might bring on some heart disease. They should find a way to associate the cause with the disease for which they are raising money.

The two Presidents of the frat and sorority didn't hesitate--they just shut it down, no muss, no fuss. The pushback is coming from a lot of right wing sites, many of whom are populated by people who can't spell "college" never mind "guacamole." I don't think most of the gripers calling poor Ms. Hernadez every name in the book, from A to C and beyond, were invited to this little shindig anyway--they just wanted to complain about this Mexican women trying to tell "them" what they can and can't do--but they didn't even have the facts right.

This kind of stuff is just falling out of favor now, and good thing. It's like playing cowboys and indians--children fifty or sixty years ago played that often and no one thought a thing of it. Nowadays, never mind the toy guns, the whole insult to indigenous peoples, who were portrayed by the kids who were almost always expected to keel over and die, is just mind-blowingly awful.
