When i think of satire i tend to presume that it is employed with a certain amount of awareness of the subject to be satirized. Doing something specifically because others find it offensive doesn't seem like exceptionally brilliant satire to me. If it were, i suppose the flock fred phelps might be considered brilliant satirists if they weren't so earnest about their cause.
This party sounds more like something teenagers would do to feel like they're cool, like putting an anarchy button on your backpack.
"Look at us, we're really on the cutting edge of society's expectations."
Except for the part where they're college kids having theme parties.
I bet none of these kids would be too eager to bring their little party a few miles to the southwest, where white people are a minority. I imagine the significance of their bold statement would be lost on most of the people whose stereotypes they find provocative.
