Incidentally, this Halloween’s round of campus minstrel show partying included not only the “Halloween in the Hood” party at Johns Hopkins, but also an incident with two white frat boys at Whitman College in Washington state — also members of Sigma Chi (!) — who attended a “Survivor”-themed party in full blackface. As usual, the main excuse that these college juniors offered is that they were just too damned ignorant and thoughtless to be expected to know anything in particular about the history of blackface or why folks just might not be cool with it after all.
