Oh my Lord, what were these American students thinking?

It seems in a couple of colleges white American students have been celebrating Martin Luther King Day (Jan 15) by dressing up as 'gangstas', stuffing the back of their pants to make their arses look big and eating fried chicken. Because this is what black America means to them apparently.

How they can have reached college age and retained this level of ignorance astounds me.

I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen the photos. Look at these and tell me they aren't incredibly offensive:
