If somebody has a costume with sagging pants, gold teeth, chain, a gun, and a fake tattoo, most people are gonna think it's a gangster, which is usually associated with blacks, just because of how blacks have been perceived and stereotyped over the years, even though anybody can sag, and have gold teeth and everything else. |
I was gonna say something similar to that too. Yea cuz when you hear the term "illegal alien" Swedish, Australians, or even Iraqi people arent exactly the first people who come to mind...so although I think it's kinda funny, at the same time I think it's pretty fucked up and I can see why people would get upset over this costume.
And lets keep it real...if there was a costume like that gangster you described, we all know good and damn well Black Folks would raise hell like a mothafucka and not stop til Target burns down to the ground lmao!!!
