A Quick Note To White People Everywhere

[teleen_fiction]

It's not okay for you to dress as a member of the NWA.  It's also not okay for you to spell out what your costume is when someone asks what you're dressed as, especially since I KNOW you wouldn't have done it if there had been African American people in your immediate vicinity.  The DJ called you out on it, which was cool, but for the love of all that is good and holy, WTF were you thinking?  

That is all.

PS - According to the picture linked in the Wiki article above, you weren't even accurate to their image, which makes me think you just dressed "tough" as a gag and picked NWA as what you were dressed as to be as offensive as possible.

It was someone I worked with too, which sort of made it double-fail, sigh. I'm trying to think if I saw any others that were actively offensive and I guess I got lucky. But then, I spent a lot of last night sort of hiding from the crowd and studying for my Midterm, lol.
