NORTON, Mass. (AP) - Officials at a Massachusetts college are investigating after students said a female soccer player attended an on-campus Halloween party with darkened skin to portray a character from the movie “White Chicks.”
The Sun Chronicle reports a photo taken Friday shows the woman with her skin darkened by makeup, a drawn-on goatee and a bald cap.
A Wheaton College spokesman called the costume “offensive and racist.” Officials at the college in Norton have met with students.
