University of Alabama sorority slammed for 'racially-homogeneous' recruitment film
The Daily Mail ^ | 16 August 2015

A University of Alabama sorority has been slammed for their recruitment video which critics are saying is racially-homogeneous and lacks diversity.

Alpha Phi, who are based at the Tuscaloosa campus, uploaded the footage to YouTube and it has since been viewed 500,000 times.

But some have accused them of selling themselves on looks alone while one writer has said they are doing more damage to women than presidential candidate Donald Trump.

The very glossy and professional film includes the group of 72, mostly-white, members partying and attending events inside their sprawling sorority house.

So it’s illegal to be white? Or is that next year?

No matter what you do, the PC police will find fault and slam you. There is no correct path. Any path you take, any choice you make, will be wrong. Bernie Sanders found that out the hard way.

The women are all attractive, even for Alabama, but I don’t see a problem with that or with anything else in the video. If you are going to have all-black sororities, then the others will have fewer blacks. That’s called math, and liberals pretend it doesn’t exist. Otherwise, the video tried to portray the sorority as fun in a not necessarily drunken or sexual manner.

I’d be more okay with my daughters joining this sorority than the average sorority, and I don’t have exceptionally strong objections to sororities in general. I like the idea of a social group that allows people to have friends without necessarily getting drunk, sleeping with strangers, and throwing up.

That is the goal. The goal is to silence everyone and make everyone a criminal to control them.

We should have fought this back when we had a chance to defeat it.

I am not seeing any problem with the pretty ladies of that sorority. Should they be recruiting for ferrets or iguanas or something. Looks like a sorority full of kittens to me.

That’s the problem. They must be all be attractive and white, which pisses off the ones that are neither attractive,white, or bof.

They are attractive, popular, happy, well adjusted, able to maintain a 2.0 grade average and presumably for the most part heterosexual.

They are everything the PC Facists on campus despise.

Therefore they must be ridiculed, marginalized and, most importantly, punished.

I thought celebrating diversity was defined as being accepting and tolerant of the multitude of life choices , life styles and ways of living that various people choose to live their lives.

Actually, the original stated goal of the Diversity Movement was acceptance of, and respect for different cultural and life style choices made by people being whoever and whatever they aspired to be

I know this to be true because I was there at ground zero of the birth of diversity and that was the way it was sold to us at the time. They made it all sound so reasonable back then

I look at the sorority video and I see a bunch of girls pursuing one of the many equally valid life choices out of the multitude of choices diversity offers and enjoying their life choice and feeling happy about themselves.

On the side of the Diversity Fascists I detect a distinct lack of celebration and respect for the sorority girls choice of their particular place in Diversity's Grand Continuum of life choices

Diversity has been weaponized by angry, disaffected and maladjusted people who are jealous and resentful of others and who wish to tear down those other people in order to make the disaffected feel better about themselves and using 'diversity' as a pretext helps validate and legitimize the disaffects resentment and envy

Hey, you are not some envious loser who never gets asked out on Saturday night , you are a morally superior , enlightened being who is crusading against sorority bimbos who perpetuating the patrimony and classist society that demeans and objectifies women.

That Diversity sure is great stuff.

Nice girls, by the way.

It’s about disempowering white people as a prelude to genocide.

When you hear the word “diversity”, it means “kill all white people”, nothing less - and the speaker should be regarded as speaking such.

The nexus between “diversity” pushers and disarmament pushers is NOT a coincidence. It’s a plan.

The video is intended to make nervous and homesick newly arrived freshman women feel invited and welcome to come to their house for rush week.

A lot of freshman women feel intimidated and insecure so they never participate in rush week recruitment parties to find out if sorority life is for them or not.

Kudos to them for a video that makes it easier for people to feel welcome to show up
