Halloween Racism

I just read a really interesting article on racialicious.com called Reasons I Hate Halloween. It made me think back to my childhood and my recent years to the types of costumes I’ve seen others wear. I don’t recall any racialized persons costume, but I can remember how almost all costumes are gendered. At my university (and I’m sure many others) the most popular costume is the local slut. Or at least, they will manage to sexualize any possible female character. It really sickens me. Anyway, here is the link for the article –> LINK FOR ARTICLE

I got my first mark back for grad school today and it was the highest mark in class. I’m making this out like it’s really significant, but our marks only differened by one or two percent. We all got As. Horray for us. I’m quite happy about it (because it’s an A not because it’s the highest mark). It was a book report for The Riddle of Human Rights by Gary Teeple. According to my prof, I criticize with a sharp sword. It’s a compliment I take dear to my heart. I am proud to be labelled as such.
