Is it racist?

[Tdre977]

So, with Halloween fast approaching I've been trying to figure out a costume for a party. I've been growing in my hair and a pretty robust beard. A guy at work tells me I look like General Hood, a Confederate General. Inspiration hits me for a costume, but wifey tells me I shouldn't because it's racist and I'll get punched in the face.

What does everyone think?

Don't use words like "black" and "slavery" and you are good to go IMO. I like costumes that not everyone could pull off. Now, dressing in white sheets with a nice pointed hat...different story.

As long as you don't rub Kiwi on your face, I think your good to go.

I'd say you're good. Will anyone even realize who you are?

I think you'll be fine... (P.S. - Great costume idea!)

That's exactly what I thought.
