More common still have been the “blackface” theme parties where guests are told to paint their faces in order to appear as a different race. At a number of predominantly white universities including Johns Hopkins University and the University of Connecticut, students have attended parties dressed in what could be considered stereotypical African-American attire. Photos of the event have even arisen on students’ Facebook profiles.

While these “politically incorrect” parties usually take aim at the African-American community, some have targeted other minority groups as well.

At Grand Valley College in Michigan, senior Alayne Chapman described an event that a white supremacy group held on campus. Students who participated were instructed to “dress up like immigrants and act like immigrants” and then were given the task of trying to cross a fake border that was constructed for the “game.”
