University of Florida offers 24 hr 7 days a week counseling for snowflakes offended by Halloween cos

[DigitalDrifter]

Dear god, where or where did we go wrong?
Why anyone with common sense would ever strive to be a fucking liberal is beyond me.

The truth is, the rest of us are the ones that need the counseling after having to live alongside and deal with the American liberal. You people are fucking lunatics.

Halloween Costume Choices

Filed under Administrative, Information Tech, Newsletter on October 10, 2016.
October brings fall weather and Halloween. If you choose to participate in Halloween activities, we encourage you to think about your choices of costumes and themes. Some Halloween costumes reinforce stereotypes of particular races, genders, cultures, or religions. Regardless of intent, these costumes can perpetuate negative stereotypes, causing harm and offense to groups of people. Also, keep in mind that social media posts can have a long-term impact on your personal and professional reputation. The University of Florida’s Division of Student Affairs Diversity and Social Justice Statement reminds us that UF fosters a community that values and respects diversity. An inclusive definition of diversity recognizes the variety of personal and social experiences that make individuals and communities different from one another.

As a community, we aspire to demonstrate integrity, respect, and compassion that strives to maintain an affirming campus climate for all members of our community. If you are troubled by an incident that does occur, please know that there are many resources available. Please take advantage of the 7 day a week presence of the U Matter, We Care program at the University of Florida by emailing [email protected]. Additionally, there is a 24/7 counselor in the Counseling and Wellness Center available to speak by phone at 352-392-1575. Lastly, the Bias Education and Response Team at the University of Florida is able to respond to any reported incidents of bias, to educate those that were involved, and to provide support by connecting those that were impacted to the appropriate services and resources. You may submit a bias incident report at www.umatter.ufl.edu/stopbias.Thank you for being mindful of these values, and have a fun and safe Halloween

WOW. Do they get playtime, recess, nap time and snacks during the day at UF, just like when they were in nursery school and kindergarten the first rime?

Last year a lot of the students were traumatized by all the Rick Scott costumes running around.

Yep. Better not dress as a US Soldier or a Police Officer either.

I'd go as Black Face.

My James Carville/Voldemort costume was a smash hit several years ago.

The Scott costumed peeps are going to run around shouting EVACUATE! EVACUATE! EVACUATE!

Let us give the news and entertainment media and our liberal government machine a giant trophy they can share for programming our young minds to be perpetual victims and hyper-sensitive to any sign they pick up as the slightest "offense." Cry, protest, sue and put it on youtube. Your are our modern day champions of valor.

This is what all you Hillary lovers stand for. Protecting our social flowers but letting the terrorists enter our nation in order bomb us and murder us.

Honest question: what costumes are racist?

Honest question: what costumes are racist?

Anything that creates a trigger warning.

The pussies should just cancel Halloween.

The pussies should just cancel Halloween.

I'm surprised they haven't pushed for that, at least on campus. No doubt before long that will be the case.

 

[aris2chat]

sorry, I don't like oozing zombies, and gang threads
I love princesses, police and astronauts

 

[Jarlaxle]

I'd go as Black Face.

My wife has done several variations of dark elves...

Might their heads have exploded?

It's very easy to call people snowflakes when it's not your ethnic or religious group being made fun of. Being a white male, you have the least stereotypes about you floating around during Halloween season.

The fact of the matter is, there are some racist Halloween costumes out there. Whether you see it as racist or not. It offends some people.

Examples? Like someone dressing up as an Indian? What costumes are worn regularly that are racist? Whatever it is it has to very rare?

What about a costume as a black muslim homosexual feminist? All special groups.
