:lolol: what a bunch of CJTCs.

Clearly they shouldn't have been stopped from entering because they were racist. They should have been stopped from entering because everyone knows the correct costumes for Hallowe'een are a skeleton, a witch or a zombie.

And as for those of you who wore sombreros on SPANISH DAY, well hang your heads in shame you horrible NAZIS.

I giggled at some of the 'officers' the student union had , the whole episode reads like a viz cartoon strip , then I realised a lot of these lunatics will end up in positions of power with the ability to enforce ridiculous policies like this , we are often told that certain pc policies are a myth , such as changing the words to Baa Baa black sheep , the attached photo was taken at the nursery at whitemans green in cuckfield which doubles as a tea hut on Saturday mornings for kids football , perhaps whoever made it should also learn how to spell master, perhaps they'll even change the name ' to person of non specific gender or race ' green.

Surely skeletons are there to offend anorexic people, witches offend women in general and zombies offend students before 2pm?
Let's just ban halloween or does that upset the american culture?
In fact, I'm not going to put a santa outside this christmas in case I upset fat people with white beards and bad dress sense

Since when have Mexicans been a race? But no I don't think wearing a sombrero is discriminatory towards Mexicans anyway.

If sombreros are discriminatory then surely wearing anything connected to a country's culture is discriminatory too...

I heard a clip of Frank Skinner saying "any joke can offend someone, I have a friend whose parents died in a car accident, caused when they swerved to avoid a chicken that was crossing the road."
 


racist
Pronunciation: /ˈreɪsɪst/
Translate racist | into French | into German | into Italian | into Spanish

noun
a person who believes that a particular race is superior to another:
I had a fear of being called a racist

adjective
having or showing the belief that a particular race is superior to another:
we are investigating complaints about racist abuse at a newsagents

So, did any of those students wearing the 'racist' fancy dress outfits believe, that by wearing these outfits they were in some way superior to the race that would normally wear this type of dress? I don't think for one minute that even entered their heads. I like to think that I am inclusive and respectful of all races and wouldn't have thought that if I wore a Mexican outfit with sombrero and poncho I would be showing any racist sentiments at all.

Unfortunately it's cretins like the University Of Birmingham Guild of Students and people on the opposite side of the race argument that cause a lot problems when there really aren't any there. Extremists aren't welcome on the left or the right.
