Round-up

1. A US college is pulling out all the stops with a full-scale discussion on racism after a white couple showed up at a campus party last week in black face. According to information supplied by the college, a Smith student and a male friend attended a theme party Friday night dressed as singer Whitney Houston and her husband Bobby Brown, who are black. The theme of the party was celebrity rehabilitation. Houston has done several stints in rehabilitation facilities for substance abuse problems. According to accounts, some party-goers were offended that the couple was in black face. The Smith student left the party and has since apologized for her actions.

Obviously this is not racist and those who were "offended" by this need to grow up, get a new hobby and stop being such losers. How does one portray Whitney Houston without actually making herself LOOK like Whitney Houston through "blacking up" her face? That some people found this offensive is ridiculous and shows how far PC culture has infiltrated Western society. It must die.

2. For ACTUAL racism, however, check this out: Highly offensive racial content attacking Aborigines who live in the Perth suburb of Maddington has appeared on the online encyclopedia website Wikipedia.

The racist material has been been entered under the suburb of "Maddington.'' The entry refers to Aboriginal people as "vermin of the earth'’ "who smell and use their centrelink payments to drink at the skate park."
