this flier was created by members of the student activist group, Coalition for Campus Unity. CCU works to combat bigotry and promote diversity and justice at Yale by organizing to effect institutional change.
we found the message of this flier relevant to our campus given the popularity of this fall's ethnically themed parties, such as "Mustachio Bashio"(featuring caricatures of Latino men), "Cowboys and Indians" (featuring men dressed up as cowboys and women as 'indians') and "the ghetto party." and of course, the campus spotting of a young white man out and about in blackface.
stop, think, respect.
happy halloween.

On Halloween night, I spotted two "Indians" and a guy dressed up w/ the stereotypical yellow Asian hat and five playing cards attached to his head spelling out Asian. I heard there were a few offensive Latino costumes too.
However, I thought it was better than the weekend so maybe our flyer got some people thinking. We'll see.
