Over the weekend, Dickinson College became the latest institution of higher learning to come under fire over its handling of a student who dressed up as Colin Kaepernick for Halloween.

While the debate rages on over whether dressing up as Kaepernick is considered racist or a form of blackface, it’s pretty clear that the Caucasian student in question has brown smears on his face from make-up. What makes the display far more offensive is that a fellow student is holding a gun to Kaepernick’s head while he takes a knee. A Dickinson College spokesperson told the Washington Examiner in an email that the gun was a “toy” and the investigation is ongoing.
