crompsin: you're wrong about europe. go ask north africans (tunisians, morrocans) how they feel walking around in france. i think in some ways, europe tends to be more strongly nationalist rather than racist, given the closer proximity of the various countries...but they still find ridiculous ways to hate each other.
i almost wrote something earlier in this thread, but deleted the post. all i can say is that i find myself echoing skafe when i read this: we did this with a frat party last year that had some sort of offensive halloween decorations, and the conclusions are basically the same. i don't have the energy or time to get intensely involved in this particular discussion...i do think, however, that when hanging things by nooses in the united states, one might pay particular attention to the potential racial overtones. whatever...best of luck with it.
