Apparently "brown bag" was used by black people 50 years ago to refer to a lighter shade of brother that was more acceptable at certain black people parties and organizations and such.  Primarily in the south.  If this is all the "Office for Civil Rights" is doing, perhaps it's time they close their doors.

Just to be clear, I don't think this is a Big DealTM or "stomping on the Constitution" or whatever.  I just thought it was funny and worthy of being pointed and laughed at.

Ever noticed how 99% of the people complaining about "political correctness" or whatnot are straight, white, middle-class males?
hyperbole much?
people who constantly complain about "political correctness" are 100x more annoying than political correctness
Same question.
