"The video depicts members of Lambda Theta Delta, an Asian-American fraternity, performing to the Justin Timberlake Song, "Suit and Tie," ...one of the members, in an attempt to portray rapper Jay-Z, appears made up in blackface."

(Might be a good conversation starter fo an adult conversation class addressing the sensitive topic of "racism.")

Yes rascism is a sure fire topic starter in south Korean schools. Perhaps the frat boys were doing this as a tribute to Jay-z?

Idiots. Should get put through the tolerance and diversity ringer as punishment for their insensitivity. These aren't immigrant students, these are AAs. They should know better.

I appreciate that you see the "tolerance and diversity ringer" as punishment and not proactive.
