College Magazine Creates ‘Is Your Costume Racist’ Flowchart, Overlooks Major Problem

Daily Wire  "The flowchart asks students about their Halloween costumes, and attempts to guide them away from "racist" choices. "Is it from 4Chan or Reddit?" the guide asks. Answer "Yes," and it further queries: "Does this meme validate white supremacists?"

"Another question: "Does it humanize inhumane people?" If your answer is "Yes," the guide asks that you "reconsider your costume idea."

"Of course, if the costume makes fun of Donald Trump, the guide says to "do it!" One wonders if the chart would similarly promote the mockery of Hillary Clinton or any other Democratic figure. Probably not; they know their audience.

"The flowchart has garnered attention from Fox News, Campus Reform, and other outlets. 1870 Magazine, seemingly pleased with the attention, wrote the following in response to a negative tweet about the flowchart: "I guess we now know who the sensitive ones REALLY are.' " . . .
