If you think this is a big deal, you're fishing....or a UK fan.

Or a Mexican maybe?

What about the Native Americans protesting schools like Florida State. Part of what they are upset about is using the mascot? Or Chief Wahoo?

 

Don't get me wrong, I am not offended but I am not Mexican. If Mexicans do not have a problem with it, there should be no issue.

This is so stupid.

 

Indeed.

Obviously a dumb move to dress up like this. They should have known better. America is so soft these days when comes to "offensive" behavior. If I see anybody dressing up like a leprechaun on St. Paddy's day I might just have to be "offended" as well.

 

I will be offended, too, if I'm not too drunk to realize my Irish heritage had been disparaged.

Should I be offended if I see someone dressed up as super Mario?

Another case of people making something out of nothing.

 

Listen if you can't laugh about yourself you got problems. People are to sensitive about everything looking to place the blame on anyone and everyone.

 

Funny how my Chinese,Mexican and African American friends would laugh and find it cool to see me dress and look like them. Like wise if they dressed up like me.

 

Move along haters, you'll find something new to hate next week.

Only if you're and plummer of Italian decent.

I an Italian. But that's my point. It's not offensive. Even if I was a plumber. Neither is this picture. This is silly unless you're looking for something to pick at uofl for. Pathetic.

I am not offended at all. However, in this day and age, for a university president or his minions to NOT think this would cause problems is incredible. Where on earth are their more PC police types looking for something to be upset about than on a college campus???

This is what I'm saying...and a college that's already way under the microscope
