The handout, posted on UT’s website, gives students a guideline on how to avoid cultural appropriation. SFL recommended costume ideas like dressing as a letter of the alphabet, a Rubik’s cube and preppy. Costumes to avoid: Hawaiian, trailer trash and “Around the world.”
The handout listed the following costume ideas as harmful themes: •Painting or tinting your face to appear to be a different skin tone (ex. Blackface) •Cowboys and Indians, anything “Squaw” or depictions of indigenous people •Gypsies or Geisha •“South of the Border,” Fiesta •Hawaiian, tropical, “Leied” •“Ghetto fabulous,” Urban, “G’d Up” •Trailer trash, white trash bash, hobos •“Chicks and hicks,” Rednecks •“Around the World”

Years ago my girlfriend and I attended a costume party and she was M&M’s plain.
I was M&M’s with nuts.
How about Jell-o?
So now UT produces fragile snowflakes sheltered in their safe spaces.
So why should I hire a UT grad?
There was a rumor -
about a tumor -
at the base of his brain ;o)
I suppose pitchforks and torches and storming “Its a Small World After All” is next.
This is the same university that protested on campus carry with giant sex toys a couple months ago. Dressing as a hobo for Halloween is offensive but waving around 3 foot dildos isn’t.
The widdle snowflakes wouldn’t understand.
I was daintily sipping a glass of wine when I came upon the picture you posted.
LOL!! Wine doesn’t pass well through the sinuses. Snort!!
So “preppy” is one of the recommended costume ideas? That could be offensive to students who come from money or those who simply prefer a classic style of dress. But dressing as a hobo or with a “white trash bash” theme is considered offensive and/or harmful?
Hypocrites.
Not being in Texas or a college student, it’s a shame I can’t go as the “Frito Bandito”.
When called on it, I can claim I am the historical figure Pancho Villa, since the look is essentially the same.
