Certain sororities at the university from which I graduated host a “Famous Lovers” mixer every year where the sorority girls are matched with guys in their “Top 5” lists, are told which “famous” couples they’ll be going as, and then have to find their dates at the mixer based on the guys’ costumes (it never quite works out in such a secretive way, but you get the idea). In any case, one couple at this year’s mixer apparently went as Heidi Klum and Seal. I’m sorry, but have these people not gotten the message that blackface is just entirely inappropriate? To be fair, this girl probably couldn’t have found a black guy to go as her “date” at our incredibly non-diverse school if she wanted to. But still. Just pick a different couple. Lord have mercy.
