A man dressed in a Ku Klux Klan costume at a Cornwall pub sparked widespread anger
Cornwall: So, there was this wild scene at a pub in Cornwall recently. A guy showed up in a Ku Klux Klan costume during an 80s themed fancy dress night. Can you believe it?
The Chiverton Arms was all set for a fun night, but this dude walked in looking like he stepped out of a horror movie. He had on a full white sheet getup, complete with eye holes and a cross on his head. Just wow.
People were understandably furious. The pub staff quickly asked him to take it off, but the damage was done. Folks were shocked and angry, saying they couldn’t believe someone would even think that was okay.
One person thought he was just a character from a game, but most were just appalled. Comments online were brutal, with many saying the landlord should be held accountable. It’s just not something you can brush off.
Others pointed out how inappropriate it was, especially for people of color. It’s like, come on, there are so many other fun costumes to choose from. Why go for something so offensive?
The landlord did say they didn’t know about the costume until it was too late. They mentioned that they can’t control what everyone wears, but they did ask him to change once they found out. Still, it left a bad taste in everyone’s mouth.
In the end, it’s a reminder that some things just shouldn’t be joked about. People are still talking about it, and it’s clear that this kind of behavior won’t be tolerated.
