College: Student's 'White Chicks' costume was offensive
NORTON, Mass. (AP) Officials at a Massachusetts college are investigating after students said a female soccer player attended an on-campus Halloween party with darkened skin to portray a character from the movie ''White Chicks.''
The Sun Chronicle reports a photo taken Friday shows the woman with her skin darkened by makeup, a drawn-on goatee and a bald cap.
A Wheaton College spokesman called the costume ''offensive and racist.'' Officials at the college in Norton have met with students.
The college's Black Student Association is demanding campus-wide racial awareness training.
Administrators say the student didn't play in a soccer game this week but hasn't been officially disciplined.
In ''White Chicks,'' two black men disguise themselves as white women. Students say the soccer player was portraying a character played by Terry Crews
