A racist-themed party organized by UCSD students over the weekend has created 
an uproar that's gone beyond the university's small African-American community.

Invitations to the event, sent out through the social networking site, 
Facebook, encouraged female attendees to dress as "ghetto chicks," 
characterized by gold teeth, cheap clothes, "nappy" hair and a "very limited 
vocabulary."  Male party-goers were required to wear urban clothing and other 
accessories stereotypically attributed to Black urban culture.  Watermelon and 
fried chicken were served as refreshments.  Most egregious is that the students 
used this event to mock Black History Month.
