There was a "Ninja vs. Pirate" themed party in West Campus last night. Intrigued by the premise of the event, I went to the party with Rex & one of his friends. (We were all ninjas (link via John N.). I sported my Konoha forehead protector on my arm as well- the only occasion I've ever worn it in public, haha.) Well, it turned out to be a very... white... party. *ahem* Allow me to "clarify"...

The festive activity of minority homo sapiens differs markedly from that of their white counterparts. It is speculated that this sharp contrast in behavior can be attributed to the different kinds of aural stimulation (i.e. music) present at their respective events. The white human is prone to listening to "rock" music at his celebratory events, often characterized by the practices of quasi-moshing, head-bobbing, and the all-too-popular "stand around and chitchat." Contrastingly, people of color are more inclined to listen to "booty music," which, as its name implies, is typically accompanied by sensual and provocative dance. (Excluding "white-washed" or "yellow-fever" cases,) It seems only natural that one aligning him or herself with a minority race would feel out of place in the foreign environment of a white party, and vice versa. However, while it is quite easy to discern the visible differences between the two types of events, it is a much harder task to explain the cause of this contrast and is beyond the scope of this discussion.

Aaaaaaaanyways, it was [different] to say the least. I dunno, I guess half the problem was that I didn't know like anyone at the party. Meh, I guess I'm just not cut out to party with white folk, haha. Ah well, at least it was fun dressing up.
