A Penn State sorority has become the focus of an investigation after a racist Mexican-themed party picture was posted to the Web, according to the independent Penn State blog, Onward State. The picture, said to be taken around Halloween, shows the women dressed in sombreros and mustaches. Some of the women held signs that read "Will mow lawn for weed + beer" and "I don't cut grass I smoke it." The photo was posted on Tumblr and Facebook, where Onward State was able to identify the women tagged in the photo as members of the Chi Omega sorority on campus. Jessica Riccardi, the president of the Nu Gamma chapter of Chi Omega, confirmed to the student publication the Daily Collegian that the sorority is under investigation. Riccardi also issued an apology.

For purposes of crime stats, they are “white”,
but for purposes of affirmative action, they are not.

Will Mow Lawn For Weed & Beer!

Kinda hard to tell from the picture, but I wonder if any of those girls went for the Sharpie look?

I don’t see how this party will hurt anybody’s life. Will any Mexican be killed, harassed, turned down for a job, or any other bad thing because a bunch of young girls dressed up as Mexicans for a party? Hey, if a bunch of Mexicans want to dress up as whites, have at it! Dress up as surfer dudes, rednecks, any other white stereotype. People have no sense of humor anymore.

Little early for Halloween?...Jeez!

You mean a Mexican Bagpipe?

[DaveyB]

You make a good point. All the other sororities should also be investigated for their own insensitivity; dressing up like stereotypical white girls, who have often been the butt of many off-color jokes.

To be perfectly correct using Spanish the "Aye" should have an upside-down exclamation point in front of the "A" of "Aye". Just so that you know. With the "Num Lock" on, the upside-down exclamation point is achieved by holding down the "Alt" key and pressing 173 on the "Num" keypad.

Also, "Carumba" = "Caramba"

Actually they’re called Mexican Bag Pipes.

“¿Come dice “I would hit it’ espanol?
todos”

“Yo la pegaría” is the literal but would not make sense in Spanish because it literally says, “I would hit it/her”.

That might get you a slap in the face and/or charges of physical abuse.

ROFL

What race are Mexicans?

Everything from all white to all Indian (the injun kind, not the other one). That ain't racism, it's culturism.

[alarm rider]

See, there it is. Mexicans are not a race. Muslims are not a race. Apparently no one teaches anthropology anymore. Just knee-jerk crap with no basis in truth or good sense.
