Phi Gamma Delta hosts annual "Islander" parties at universities across the nation to raise money for charities and research organizations.

The Phi Gamma Delta fraternity [at] the University of California - Irvine (UCI) has been accused of racism against Pacific Islanders for hosting a fundraiser where students wore grass skirts and coconut bras... The petition also demands that the group change its nickname, Fiji, - which comes from the phonetic pronunciation of the group’s first letter “Phi” and the “G” from the last letter, Gamma - because it is racist ~Source

So far no bodies have been found.

Of course that would more likely be considered a crime against humanity, rather than just simple racism...

Perish the thought.

Pretty soon you won't be able to host a cultural theme party without getting accused of being racist. What's next--locale-based theme weddings (not of one's own ethnicity), Halloween costumes?

Emulating a cultural heritage is not denigrating it. Should fraternities and sororities be prohibited from using Greek letters next, if not located in Greece?

I do wish folks would stop overusing the R-word before it loses all meaning entirely.

That said, the costumes do sound a bit stereotypical, and I can understand how they might irk a modern Fijian. I feel a similar annoyance when stereotypical "Americans"--loud, rude, stupid, perhaps topped in ten-gallon hats--appear in British movies and TV shows.

The "Improvements?" episode of the Britcom As Time Goes By offers a double-edged look at Anglo-American stereotypes. Start at 10:34.
