halloween is coming up which means that people might consider wearing
offensive costumes so the University of Colorado at Boulder had decided to
do a little bit of a preemptive strike on offensive costumes they put out a
letter and of course they're not making this mandatory it's worth a suggestion
and they say the following consider the impact your costume decision may have on
others and try to refrain from dressing up as racial cultural or judge gender
stereotype for Halloween this year
so want nothing too controversial about that except Fox News and other critics
took it way too seriously and they feel that the university is trying to be too
politically correct
I'm so just to give you a few examples of what they're worried about
they're concerned that some people might out dress up in blackface
in some breyer rose in overly sexualized geisha
apparel and also stereotypical icons are cowboys and Indians
like there specifically report dawning
sexy Indian princess absolute what they said that cuz but for that I what
nah I'll no no it's really it's it happens though I don't know why this
happened
every year you know the wifi you know people do in this black bass top or
the overly sexualized at quarter of stereotypes and
its offensive and and I think they have a right to be suggested but like tennis
point they're not think if you do what you gotta get expelled
I mean that's too much you care for John expression that way but it's just a
suggestion what's the deal
yeah so that the a cook at the state meet up again sure cuz you dislike the
most innocuous statement
in the history of the world I mean it's ok thaw just gets
first book consider Brett right it's really a bag of decision may have on
others
he didn't say that you might offend somebody which would irritate me as soon
as I said be careful not to offend anybody
again we're all federal up
the commitment to try our free for dressing up racial cultural gender
stereotypes relish
its sole thoughtfully like hey not telling you what to do
Woodring yeah I'm just saying keep my got it's like a great statement and
ecology ever put so Fox News said the following finding a Halloween costume
that doesn't terrify politically correct college busybodies
could be a challenge this year and that was a piece on their website
but you know just going back to their intentions I think what they want to do
is prevent people like us
doing stories about somalia pentecost in some other students have done because
that's typically what happens
every Halloween every Halloween there's a news story about a new fraternity or
sorority
that had a party that was you know a little
racial list or something so look at the just wanna
make sure the people reconsider their costumes there's really nothing wrong
with it
don't don't go as don't dress up black face goes to President hacer dismay at
what you're looking for it cut every minute
to it's reminiscent of what we talked about in the last hour you know the
whole people wanting to be listed in Word
there are some people to wait for October 31st
every damn here so they can put on the Obama costuming it's there
get out of jail free card to do that like it and I'm not thinking about this
is real talk its like women with plenty costumes are rather like a hoe tonight
I'm so excited yeah they don't appear to be banning
a place for you an-nahar six specifically sexy indian sexy geisha sir
right alright should be reconsidered you wanna be sexy nerd love you so embedded
all sexy whitehurst
know people I I would a fight
II would take issue with to the guidelines okay
the school law you know I don't know how sexualized the squaw is
right hander I know that there is some history behind it in some contexts but I
would let this one go
weaknesses is hard to interpret meanie when
a woman dress as a Native American right that like if you're jesse is a
a mexican guy sombrero has
certain connotations rate so that's a little you know depends
right just happens when you go to an El Torito and they're singing happy
birthday to you and they put a
somewhere on your head is that offensive their thrown out at you
the colorado initially that waiters tossed alright
so the black faces easy don't do black
set a bad idea is a bad idea how will be like that idea the Hitler mustache
okay well alright you want to add that no hitler by such as a
and then the other 1i as cowboys and Indians we really we can't remember
scabs
is that if the many things that have been white folks
I think isolated on FB okay I think they're trying to be overly cautious
there and and tried it make it more equal really the issue is the idiots
right
right also it's like the problem is is that of course you could dress up like a
school like to dress up like an idiot
if you do it right and then you're not a clown but he doesn't like an idiot in
your car on you spend all Halloween
do in the big ***'s yeah and you can you do red face
right like can you call yourself a Redskin right leg maybe
start a hope for snow football team and then people are going to take your club
okay I another charger too much on this check but
if that even okay like maybe we don't need to be objectifying
cultural groups in that way at all but its looking plan yeah I know
I K look it's a tough tough line
seles just for small clarify the Fox News is wrong
because this is all a suggestion ways not
is not landed right missus that mandatory now
when you want me to pick the suggestion as I'm doing great be in that
conversation
I am Halloween you some rules are suspended
not all holes like that's why I'm saying don't do black bass told you that there
was that
don't do the red face okay but a lot of other rules are suspended like no normal
you wouldn't press is an incredibly sexy nurse
what %ah lowing addresses exit normally you're not a fireman
okay but you may be a fireman on Halloween so that's kinda the point of
Halloween
so for example I wish to use my culture
because that night no I'm not you can talk about I can talk about it
now bye *** so if somebody is dressed up as a whole school turkey had affairs
at a mustache that
get around in and slaughtered everyone near them
I would say yeah that's fine they're having fun okay
issuers seriously with a scimitar whatever it is
yeah you feel comfortable speaking for Altec some parts might be offended by
that
all I know she looked are different in that sense right
so like yeah of course all want black versus people black people with a person
isn't me I don't we speak for all turks to be able to take it
okay no that's not how I feel about that rather
who was offended by the fares in the seventh stop up get off it already
go sit down like of course context matters to everything so matters Who
doesnt matter how you behave when you do it
right and like look the the
Turks have not in america there's no Turkish discrimination
it's not think right so like
it obviously it's a little different if you're seeing is that personal
some privilege and you end up wear a costume that marginalizes blacks are
marginalized Native Americans
then or boring argument going to be with a black face Obama up being the present
the I think America I'm not marginalizing him that I gotta be there
how are going to be an argument but yeah I put a black face and take the
president went big
your club but we work towards putting in theoretical J
we're not putting him in real J yeah
yeah so you know I don't know I I would be hesitant
to dress up as a because you
I we had to dress up as a Native American or to I'm Kirk
conscripts the peculiar custom Joyce but OK I
