My college has one of these parties every year also, the point is mockery of how sensitive people are and a chance to blow off some steam when you don't have to worry about committing the ultimate crime on many of today's colleges: offending someone.

I find myself about half a dozen times a year having to explain to someone in the 'academic bubble', as I have commonly heard it referred to, that you can't actually be arrested just for being a racist. Any disciplinary action taken in this case will just be another big FU to free speech.

People need to realize, it's not about being racist or bigoted, it's about bucking the system. It's a not-so-subtle "We're tired of having to be nice to everyone all the time and this is what we think of your forced politically correct bullshit." Kudos to them for not being afraid to exercise a right.
