A student at a Long Island high school was sent home Friday after showing up to school dressed like Aunt Jemima and toting around a syrup bottle asking, “You want some pancakes?”
Commack High School senior, 17-year-old Dean Jeziorkowski, donned a wig, bandanna, and makeup for the costume. School officials ordered the boy to wash off the makeup and when he refused he was sent home.
His classmate, 16-year-old Danny Cuevas, defended his friend saying,
“I don't think it's that racist. At one point in time, that might have been seen as racist but not now.”
Jeziorkowski's family has yet to comment.
Oh okay I get it now. It's not that racist…just a little bit. So that makes it okay, right?
