- "Asian stereotype" parties
- "Mexican stereotype" parties

And that's a smattering of the stuff that people are finally bringing up.

Here's the problem, be it a racist costume or party or whatever: When called out, the people say, "It's just a joke! Can't you take a joke?" When called out about how that's juvenile, they fall back to the "freedom of speech" thing, which causes stuff like said professor being surrounded by a crowd of agitated students.

Being asked to maybe be considerate and avoid racially insensitive costumes has nothing to do with freedom of speech. But I guess it's probably too much to hope that people who cannot comprehend the idea of "not being a dick" realize that fact.

Now all that said, there's definitely an aggressiveness in the protesting students that worries me.

EDIT: Also, my wife just had to watch a video about mass-shooting preparedness. Ugh.

Maybe people could start caring more about their own character than the characters of others?

Also: this is off topic.

I love that the umbrage was with the roof. Not the disgusting zombies.
