and mustaches on October 28, 2015. This was supposed to be a harmless and fun group costume; however, this was not the university's response. The university was outraged at this. This was nothing more than a harmless fun costume idea that was not intended to be racist at all until the media blew it up like an atomic bomb. How has wearing a costume become offensive?
