The fact remains that people want to whine and cry when they are held accountable for their actions. Its one thing to mock an entire group of people, especially when that behavior has deep roots in this country, and its something else to have a Halloween costume that doesn't have anything to do about anything.
Personally, I think it was tacky and bad taste for him to decide to be "white" for Halloween. But racism? Nope, and if you don't like it, you can go cry a river for all I care.

First, to say that it is impossible for a minority group to be racist towards a majority group is impossible is the biggest load of CRAP i've ever heard. I went to a school that was 97% Hispanic and EVERY day racist remarks were made towards me. I thought I was too good for them because my dad had a nice car. I better not look at them that way because I'd get my gringo ass kicked. I was a stupid cracker and racist because I didn't cry when Selina died. WHATEVER.
I agree that this incident alone may not have been racism. THe point is that it's not any different what he did and what the white guys did. And YES A MINORITY CAN BE RACIST TOWARDS A NON MINORITY.
