Racist Costumes’ Gold Medal Award

Meanwhile, those who get busted in Minstrelsy Blackface, IDF Uniforms, Prosthetic Semitic Noses, or Sacred Ethnic Regalia most common defense is an incredulous chorus of “What?! Some of my best friends are… “.
Intelligent people don’t give a damn how many yellow, red, brown, olive or black friends you have, your bullshit is unacceptable and must stop or be stopped.
