what's the skinny on San Diego? My wife and I are thinking of taking a vacation there in the next few weeks.

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.
