Hey @UKTesco it's unacceptable you're selling racially stereotyped Halloween costumes https://www.tescoparty.com/FancyDress/CostumeThemeListing.aspx?pmo=0&gg=ma&ThemeCode=177&mo=0 … care to comment? #racistTesco

@neilstewart I am sorry, which one do you feel is offensive?

Honestly, if i were to be offended everytime I see a white dude with rastafari/reggae attire, I wouldn't live anymore.

Van Horn Street, Wednesday, 31 October 2012 18:16 (thirteen years ago)

well but blackface

goatee-framed sphincter-mouth (jjjusten), Wednesday, 31 October 2012 18:18 (thirteen years ago)

I saw like three dudes in blackface this morning, no big deal

d-_-b (mh), Wednesday, 31 October 2012 18:19 (thirteen years ago)

were they coalminers?

Tesco employees.

Neil S, Wednesday, 31 October 2012 18:23 (thirteen years ago)

black face? i thought it was just excessive tan. like a tourist or something.

Van Horn Street, Wednesday, 31 October 2012 18:25 (thirteen years ago)

this is a losing argument at this point but "blackface" is a specific thing and using the term to describe every instance where someone puts on brown makeup (which often can be offensive!) is stupid

Gandalf’s Gobble Melt (DJP), Wednesday, 31 October 2012 18:27 (thirteen years ago)

I think that was just that guy's natural skin color... I mean, if you're going to do blackface the point isn't to look like George Hamilton, rite?

Frobisher the (Viceroy), Wednesday, 31 October 2012 18:27 (thirteen years ago)

in other words, DJP OTM.

Frobisher the (Viceroy), Wednesday, 31 October 2012 18:28 (thirteen years ago)

idk man the one with the afro wig and bone necklace is pretty close to blackface, altho i guess they used red lipstick instead of white lipstick. obv i am using the term as shorthand, but yeah, i dont have a better quick term to go with.

goatee-framed sphincter-mouth (jjjusten), Wednesday, 31 October 2012 18:30 (thirteen years ago)

i get the criticism tho and accept it, chalk it up to lexical laziness on my part

goatee-framed sphincter-mouth (jjjusten), Wednesday, 31 October 2012 18:32 (thirteen years ago)

I had actually forgotten about that one and was looking at the rasta pic so I retract my pedantic bitching

Gandalf’s Gobble Melt (DJP), Wednesday, 31 October 2012 18:32 (thirteen years ago)

we sure do have our pick of ninnies itt don't we

goole, Wednesday, 31 October 2012 18:32 (thirteen years ago)

Gandalf’s Gobble Melt (DJP), Wednesday, 31 October 2012 18:33 (thirteen years ago)

yeah the reggae one is just kinda crappy and off, the restless natives one is next level bottle opener shit.

lil dirk (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 31 October 2012 18:35 (thirteen years ago)

Not entirely sure that rasta guy isn't actually made of leather or beef jerky, I mean

Drop Dead would not approve of that guy wearing their t-shirt...

Frobisher the (Viceroy), Thursday, 1 November 2012 14:50 (thirteen years ago)

Drop dead can refer to:

* Dropdead, a hardcore punk band of Rhode Island
* Drop Dead, a 1984 LP by the hardcore punk band Siege
* Drop Dead Clothing, a clothing brand owned by Bring Me the Horizon lead singer Oliver Sykes

Joanna Motorhead (DJ Mencap), Thursday, 1 November 2012 15:42 (thirteen years ago)

LOL ok NM... I guess I forgot they were called Dropdead.
