That's not a good analogy to the story, though. A better analogy is: Would it be ok for a group of Jews to have a "shylock" party? Obviously, in this case, no harm would be intended, and none was intended in the Compton Cookout story. “…would it be ok for a group of Catholics to have a “Shylock” party wearing horns and big noses?”

The organizer guy is hilarious. We had a similar incident in Chicago where white people organized a party like that but not with the same intentions. I think there is a line that can be crossed when "having a good time," e.g. would it be ok for a group of Catholics to have a "Shylock" party wearing horns and big noses? I'm not asking if it's legal, just whether it is appropriate. This doesn't seem like an incident that crossed the line. I do think that ethnic, racial humor is ok if it is just that. I personally love Mexican jokes--I mean, seriously, we really do like beans! the noose story doesn’t add up, but then again I forget there are stupid people in the world sometimes.

You really filled in all the missing and important information. I feel sorry for the "noose" student. Why in the world are they going after her? Great post.
