Well, maybe the white folks didn't want to spend all their money on tuxes and prom dresses and such.

OTOH, you can get those white sheets pretty cheap at WalMart.

Yeah, coming from Wal Mart, those sheets are likely made by Vietnamese children earning less than $1 a day. How fitting!

Incidentially, this seems to indicate the stupidity of Proms, in general. I think they've outlived their usefulness, being an archaic relict of times when schools were the only social scene available.

Not to mention, that the proms have degenerated into nothing more than a means to flaunt status and wealth - not really a good message for today's youth!
Shouldn't the kids all be at RAVE parties, anyway?
