I'm curious as to why you feel that way. Why is "harshing on frats" as you put it not a negative act? Also, how does the reddit post not apply to the original issue here?
Because frats are not a put upon minority, or any segment of society that deserves our contrition and respect. They're drunken twenty-something white guys whose primary concern is how to be drunker and whiter and twenty-somethinger. They are an outgrowth of an otherwise useful function (university), not useful in and of themselves.
The reddit post is applicable because it is a rejoinder to those who claim offense at that which cannot reasonably be claimed to cause real offense to those for whom such a thing matters.
"They're drunken twenty-something white guys whose primary concern is..." <--- Stereotyping. Generalizations. Right here. In your comment.
There are fraternities and sororities whose members are not all "twenty-something white guys" and whose efforts are worthwhile. Do a smattering of research and you'll discover this.
