Exactly, people are fishing for arguments. They're looking to be offended. It's stupid to look for reasons to be offended. I can spend all day looking for things to piss me off, but it'll get really old really fast because something happens literally every second. It was a party poking fun at a culture that these kids-and lots of others, including people who are part of the culture-find entertaining and ridiculous. It has a little edge to it, but, at the end of the day, it's not overtly racist or hate-filled or violent or destructive.
I bet you no less than 100 parties with similar themes happened over Halloween weekend. People pounced on this, so now it's a big deal. If they hadn't been looking to be offended by something, it would've just been another party that some people thought was offensive and didn't go to and some people thought was hilarious and relished every moment of it.
