[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you think college students should show moral outrage whenever another college student tells someone s/he disagrees with to shut the fuck up?  Or is it just when they tell authority figures to STFU?  [/quote]The fact that you even have to tell someone to exercise respect when choosing a costume says volumes about a broken moral compass.

Why anyone would purposely wear something fully knowing that it's offensive and hurtful has deeper issues regardless of your right for free expression.  [/quote]

Yawn.  [/quote]

No response eh[/quote]

Suppose some student decided to dress up as corrupt dictator Robert Mugabe?  (It's college, so kids have pretty far-ranging ideas.)  Would some students find that offensive?! It would be hard for them to argue "cultural misappropriation" unless they wanted to embrace Mugabe's "culture".  [/quote]

Mugabe supporters would certainly find it offensive. And they are black, so no kiddin'[/quote]

Are there any Mugabe supporters left anywhere, other than those who lined their pockets along with him?

I had a neighbor who a few years ago dressed up as Marion Barry with a "posse of prostitutes" for a Halloween party.  We all thought it was a scream.  However, my guess is that the obscenity-screaming girl at Yale would have found that offensive.  [/quote]

As long as the prostitutes were Asian, no Barry friend would have complained.[/quote]
