Bismarck Tribune Smacks UND Sorority For Being “Racially Insensitive”

From an editorial in the Bismarck Tribuneabout the recent kerfuffle over a dress-up party at a UND sorority where some of the students dressed as Indians:

Life’s lessons are sometimes hard to learn. Take for instance the Gamma Phi Beta girls at the University of North Dakota, who are now on probation after a party in which people attending dressed as Indians.

The sorority sisters were ill-advised to allow those in attendance at the “fall fun date party” to mock Natives by, among other things, men wearing self-interpretative topless and near-bottomless costumes, headbands and feathers and overly smeared-painted bodies.

Just so that we’ve got the thinking of the smarter-than-thou folks at the Tribune straight, this is mocking and offensive:
