Costume party highlights racism at Queen’s University, critics say

Say it isn't so Canada.

Time to get CSIS and the OPP out there in a clandestine operation and find out what the sons and daughters of the wealthy are doing. Why are the Valedictorian winners becoming a radical, racist threat? This cannot be accepted.

Fuck this shit.

If white people embrace someone else's culture it's supposed to be racist.

If we celebrate our own culture it's racist.

Keep this shit up and Canada's going to elect their own version of Donald Trump tpo put an end to it.

"Embrace" someone elses culture? lol.

Regardless, there is a threat emanating out of Queens university, and it must be stopped. I suppose all of these kids will not longer be employable now and security forces will have to watch them 24/7.

Well we did elect an unqualified selfie machine who's name is a related to the Deadly Nightshade family.

The threat isn't coming from a bunch of college kids dressing up for a costume party.

Canadians need to be protected from these kids. Watch them 24/7, spare no expense, two generations of security agents if needed. Relegate them to jobs in fast food joints or retail stores, part time only, full time is too good for them. We don't need courts, this is working for the safety and security of Canadians, the collective good.

THAT, is the Canadian way.

No you didn't. You're not part of that "we", nor the other "we" I spoke of.

Touche

I still don't get how dressing up in Native traditional dress or as a sheik is racist... if a Chinese family dressed up like this for Halloween, it wouldn't bother me in the least.

Hey! Teacher!
Leave those kids alone.

It's not racist. It's just in bad taste. It's insensitive to whatever culture whose cultural/traditional dress you're using as a costume. My family is Scottish. A colleague of mine wore a kilt on Halloween some years back and I told him, straight up, that it was offensive to Scottish people to see their traditional dress treated as a Halloween costume.


Oh suck it up. It's Hallowe'en ffs, the one day of the year where you're supposed to be able to dress up as something your aren't. Now, I could see it as being in bad taste if his character/costume was supposed to be a " Scotsman".
I could see a problem if a costume reinforced a negative stereotype like the above mentioned costume or say, a "sexy squaw in distress" or dressing as an Arabic person with "explosives" strapped to your chest.
What next, can't dress up in drag for Hallowe'en because it might be offensive to transsexuals and actual cross dressers?

Jesus man, I never hear this kind of pissing and moaning about Black people with dyed blonde hair. Or Natives wearing denim.
