KARE: Macalester College investigating "politically incorrect" themed party
Macalester College officials are investigating after students held a "politically incorrect" themed party in which one student apparently dressed as a Ku Klux Klan member while another wore blackface with a noose around his neck.

Students told administrators about the Jan. 16 party, and a campus-wide discussion was planned for Tuesday.

Quick! Bring in the therapists!

"My initial reaction was shock," said Paul Maitland-McKinley, a member of the Black Liberation Affairs Committee, a student group. "I thought, this can't really happen on my campus."

He said a friend told him the party was built around the "politically incorrect" theme.

However, in a story about the party in the student newspaper, the Mac Weekly, a student who attended the party said it was meant to be a satiric comment on "things that would be considered taboo in most situations" at the liberal college.
