This would make so much more sense if you had spelled it "cotton" instead of "cotyon".

ETA: nevermind, you fixed it.

Are people supposed to wear blackface too?

Some people think this is racist. It's not. And it's stupid to think that a university would intentionally organize a racist event.

It's likely a situation where the university failed to recognize the potential word association between anything cotton and the word black.

Apparently TT does blackouts a lot so it's kind of a whole lot of manufactured hand wringing.

Why not a white out? That is, after all, the colour of cotton.
