I have to say this upfront. I just picked this up from the web by using Google News and going to the following page:

But if it is true and this is not a fabrication, then I have to state that the personal is not only in bad taste, but also very racist. It is also odd that Feministing.com didn't see fit to mark that out as well!

Sure, Jessica (http://feministing.com/jessica.html) was quick to point out that the ad posted by a Harvard senior was "amazingly gross" but when I read her concluding comments, I couldn't believe it. Jesica states that the personal ad is "funny sad. But better"
Jessica, are you serious. Is that all you can come up with to say when coming across such a Racist ad? The ad is not just "fucking pathetic." What about the line right there at the end where it says, No Asian!
Or should I just not bother because you aren't into that stuff?
For those who have no idea what I am talking about here is the text of that personal ad:
My final club has a reunion this fall, and my relationship of two years ended disastrously earlier this summer. I have an invitation for myself plus one, and am willing to show you a great time. It is a private party, in an extremely classy setting. There is no real way to describe how ornate the club is, but I guarantee that it will be the most upscale experience of your life. Think back to your high school prom, take away the terrible music, and multiply the experience by ten. You must be white, 5′6″ - 5′9″, young, blonde, attractive, and intelligent. You must be in school, preferably Tufts or Wellesley but BU and BC are acceptable (definitely not MIT). You should be able to hold a conversation, know when to be quiet, and polite in all your behavior. I have seen unruly guests embarrass members before, and I hope this won't be a problem. This event is black-tie, and I am willing to procure an evening gown for you. I hate to sound so harsh, but I have expectations to live up to. No Asian, overweight, or unattractive women please. Ages 18-22 only.
