The costumes of a Texas State University sorority have angered many but left others wondering if it's worth the outrage.
Members of Texas State's Alpha Delta Pi recently wore Hispanic and Native American-themed costumes during an event that welcomed newcomers.

Not everyone agreed.
"Idk I'm not offended by it and I'm Mexican," replied one Twitter user. "Like come on guys stop being so damn sensitive. It's a damn costume."
The debate over the costumes eventually made its way onto The University Star Texas State's student-run newspaper in an opinion piece titled "The energy you save: Why I can't be bothered by another case of Greek racism."
Matthew Flores, a spokesperson for Texas State, said the costumes are not in violation of the school's code of conduct, but noted that the incident was brought up while speaking to the campus Greek society.

IE; Capitalism will allow people to succeed greatly, but doesn't mean that EVERYBODY WILL succeed greatly.
One side is grateful/ happy, the other resentful/angry.
Liberals are constantly victims or looking for an offense.
Example, Hillary Clinton.
I guess just watching “Mr. Baseball” wore out the mustache ride joke for me.
To be authentic Mexican food it has to be prepared with unwashed hands!
