Is this a joke??...what happened to freedom of speech/expression? Is this woman a hater of people of color? I am sure she is not. She may have chosen a costume of an obese person, or Ghengis Kahn or Ella Fitzgerald, Sacagawea etc..what is wrong with us? We need to get over ourselves and not have such a need to micro-manage, assume and assault someone elses choice for a Holloween Costume for heavens sake. It was a party costume!!..., not as if she went to a black persons home and scrawled the "N" word all over it...or Go back to Africa...as some idiots have done. If that was the case she should be fired and run out of town in a New York minute. Knowing how our society has run common sense off in the ditch...she should have known however that she might get some pc backlash but loosing her job???...does the "crime" (offended someone's sensibilities) fit the punishment? If you say yes, then crawl out of the ditch and give it another thought please.
