A student protest is now underway over a Halloween joke that may have gone too far. Social media posts show UIW students posing in "blackface." The painted faces were part of their Halloween costumes. The students were portraying characters made famous by Tyler Perry. The UIW students reportedly paraded around campus in blackface portrayals then posted pictures on social media. Members of UTSA's Black Student Leadership Counsel staged a Twitter blast Wednesday using #UIWPride to raise awareness. It generated an immediate response from UIW leaders who tweeted "UIW does not tolerate any discriminatory actions or comments from members of our community. We are looking into concerns brought to our attention and have already taken action and will continue to do so."
