(CAMPUSREFORM) — A local Fort Collins resident was asked to take down a Halloween display after some Colorado State University students called it offensive and racist, saying it resembled a black person hanging from a noose.
A photo of the Halloween display obtained by KUSA shows a ghost with a black wig dangling from the rafters of a house nearby CSU’s campus, looking similar to the main character in the popular horror film The Ring.
Nonetheless, some students found the display to be racist, interpreting the Halloween decoration as a black woman being hanged.
