ONTD

This lady looks like my grandmother.

Where is this from? I've seen it so often but I have no clue.

I'm crying because this is basically my reaction. Colton, girl, r u kidding

Not immature. Insensitive yes. Inconsiderate probably, but how is it immature? I assume by immature you mean childish so correct me if I'm wrong.

.....are you being serious right now?

srsly??

IKR? He's admires Gandhi. He wasn't being racist and making fun of him. Jesus...

i dont see how its racist either, if people can dress up as vampires i dont see no reason why u cant dress up as ghandi or a chinese warrior

It is certainly an unwise choice.

All yall sitting here saying this shit is not racist can join Morgan Freeman and Zoe Saldana in the last circle of Dantes Inferno.

there's always one...

PREACH MFTE!

lol always one of these comments every year when some white person decides to do something racist for halloween.

As a black woman

I'm glad we have an authority here, I was unsure what I should think

You don't speak for everyone stfu no one cares about what you think.

I'm half black and IA.

Yes how dare I who has experienced real racism and its consequences be considered an interested party when someone is assumed to be racist.

as another black woman
good for you but nope

as a black woman i'm going to say you're no longer allowed in these posts because it's embarrassing and the comments you leave are ridiculously stupid

That's fantastic...for you.

Its really disappointing but people are allowed to think whatever the fuck they want. Do I think Colton dressing as Gandhi for Halloween is racist, no. But feel free to believe what you want.

Then educate yourself on the history of black face because you seem to be ignorant of it.

your username contains the word 'gurl', your opinion is invalid

I didnt know we needed a representative to speak on behalf of all of us.

As a black woman, I'm going to have to give you major side-eye, rn.

LOL, like you're some fucking gatekeeper for feelings and perspectives of the black community.

As another black woman I'm gonna tell you to put down that kool-aid.

As another black woman, I'm going to tell you to shut the fuck up.

lol fuck off you stupid fucking idiot.

well, AS AN INDIAN WOMAN, THIS COSTUME IS RACIST.

embarrassing.

"As a black woman"-

Have several sits, plz. I did not elect you to speak on my behalf.

ia with you, and lol at almost everyone that replied to you, telling you that you don't speak for them. well, they don't speak for us either, so they can stfd all the same.

Whiteness is a helluva drug huh sis?

as a black man I'd like to lodge a formal complaint against you and your bullshit and have you kicked out of the race.

as a south asian woman, i'm here to say a) ain't nobody give a fuck about your race, like you think it makes you an expert on racism and b) that costume is racist as fuck. sit down

Embarrassing.

are you serious?

Actually she has a point.

wow only six comments in and this is already happening...

please describe the costume.

gtfo

D+ trolling

You are so stupid with your reverse racism. When the fuck has a white person ever felt inferior and have become a slave, been segregated, discriminated based on their race? Please explain to me.

IKR ...it's not like white people ever used black face historically as a way to demean others and make them feel lesser than...oh wait.

Whether you think it's harmless or not, why is it so hard for people like you to understand there is an uncomfortable racist implication when white people do this? Even if both times Colton thought this was just a way to pay tribute to his idols or whatever, that it's still an ignorant thing to do!

It simply isn't the same thing at all. If white people were historically oppressed, enslaved by black people and black people used white face as a way to make people less than human (and turn them into caricatures) than we can have a conversation how it's offensive both ways.
How is this such a hard concept to grasp? Colton may not be evil but it's a stupid thing to do not only once but twice! People have a right to give him the side eye for it...why am I explaining this...this will most likey go right over your head.

Oh, it's you. Shouldn't you be in a LGBTQ post defining a user's sexuality for them?

Oh man! Did black people persecute white people for hundreds of years? Did they enslave them? Segregate them? Mock them in entertainment? Continue to refuse to let them come to the table in terms of wealth and opportunity? Refuse to represent them in modern culture? Insist on being insensitive in regards to culture and experience with stereotypes, generalizations and casual insults?

.....oh.

The ignorant people really came out to play in this post.

If you're so butthurt that a black man can do that, build a time machine and go back in history and undo slavery. Otherwise, stfu.

why don't we think of the poor oppressed juite people? :( it is so hard being juite.

So are you saying white people should be offended, or that POC shouldn't? Or that white people aren't offended by it and therefore POC don't have the right to be?

Ooops no, this kind of racism only applies if you're white.
Do you seriously see white people as the victims here? Sorry but LMAO.

Poor white people, feeling offended :(

Yeah, I'm feeling disappointed in Holland right now.

i'm super bummed that holland was cool with this, or pretended to be cool with it

yep.

agreed

Ugh, I know. I'm so bummed at Holland right now. ><

I know someone who actually dressed their kids up like this and it wasn't even Halloween..they painted their faces black/brown and then posted them up on facebook for fun.

exactly

Liking Ayn Rand is an automatic "hit list" factor for me, fullstop

omg, Holland, whyyyyyyyyyyy?

I really do not think that his intention was to mock anyone of any color. Blackface is offensive because it brings back a time white actors mocked black people and other races in the name of comedy and art. It is a terrible thing when done to mock. This is a freaking halloween costume. Jeez.

for real, people think if they're not wearing white hoods and killing people, there's no way you could be a racist

he's being ghandi for halloween...because...he...likes ghandi

FUCKING WHITE RACIST!!!11

Yeah. Just because mockery isn't the intention doesn't mean that painting your face isn't making light of an ethnicity.

You are exactly right, tbh. People don't really understand what racism is.
