Some first-year law students at the University of Texas are drawing criticism over a ``Ghetto Fabulous''-themed costume party. Dean Larry Sager met with about 18 students who attended last month's party. Sager also e-mailed the law school student body, calling the party: ``heedless and odious.'' No disciplinary action is planned. Nick Transier of Houston attended and posted pictures on his Web site, but later removed them. Transier says nobody meant to offend anyone of any race. The photos outraged members of the Thurgood Marshall Legal Society, a group of black law students. Some partygoers carried bottles of malt liquor and wore Afro wigs, necklaces with large medallions and nametags bearing historically black and Hispanic names. Society president Sophia Lecky says it was insensitive. Transier says he and some other partygoers met with society members and apologized.

Some partygoers carried bottles of malt liquor and wore Afro wigs, necklaces with large medallions and nametags bearing historically black and Hispanic names. I don't see what the big deal is. I do that every weekend.

And patience. Can you imagine how long that took?

Some first-year law students at the University of Texas... When I was in law school, there was a copy of the "Howard University Law School Final Exam" floating around. I wish I still had a copy. It was hilarious.

From the infamous
Ghetto Prom gallery. (Warning: far beyond "politically incorrect" in offensiveness.)

nametags bearing historically black and Hispanic names.This comment just amazes me. I wasn't aware black folks had the copyright on certain names. Under this theory, I guess I should throw a fit if a a Mexican is named "Bobby" or something.

I can't believe a high school...if it is a high school...would allow this. That last picture is so sad.
