Boy, have you guys gone off the deep end of the Political Correctness pool.  And in so doing, the main thing you accomplish is to hyper-sensitize even further  the many hot- heads who are hungry for yet another blame-cause.  From another slant, I wonder how the signers of this letter would feel about a black person who comes to the party in white make-up.  Frankly, I feel that this incident makes much of the Oregon law faculty look shallow and foolish.  Tsk Tsk.
