Larry the Cable Guy is the next to be accused of cultural appropriation.
Via The College Fix:
Here’s the formula: Do something fun and silly. Post a picture of it online. Get called out by peers who are so, so, so offended. Tuck your tail between your legs, say sorry, and promise never to do it ever again.
The latest iteration of this hails from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, where a frat has issued an apology for taking a group picture touting a “Trump: Make America Great Again” sign and costumes with a good ol’ boy vibe.
At least, that’s part of it. It’s hard to really determine the theme of the end-of-the-year photo, an annual tradition. There’s a cowboy, an Indian, some sombreros, a guy in a bathrobe, another with a weird white beard, another in some sort of badass tiger-face onesie, a hillbilly, more overalls, a fake rifle, a bizarro yellow chicken face mask and more. Whatever the theme, it was clear these guys were having fun.
The picture made its way to Old Row, a twitter account that posts fun, and sometimes NSFW, Greek Life-inspired images. It was posted with the zinger: “Not everyone in California is a commie.”
Not soon after, indignant Social Justice Warrior peers who have nothing better to do than police social media accounts and worry about what stupid costumes others are wearing and get offended by everything except people being literally blown up and held hostage as sex slaves in other countries expressed their outrage.
