On the Instagram post, that Waithe posted herself, a member of a Greek organization wrote to Waithe saying:

“I love your work, but as a D9 member and a Black woman, this gives me pause. Like a commenter said earlier, at first glance this looks just another way to minimize Black greek traditions. Yes, white folks step, but this feels like a vehicle for large scale cultural appropriation. It wouldn’t shock me if Vogue or somebody declares stepping to be the hot new thing and try to take credit, just like white folks do with EVERYTHING else, especially in the social media era. Not trying to bash, but just thought another perspective wouldn’t hurt.”

Waithe responded, “characters in the movie have that same point of view. Check it out and let me know what you think.”

I think that’s just a good strategy for most types of art forms. Personally, I know I’m going give it a chance.
