Minnesota School Faces Lawsuit Over Racist 'Wigger Day': A Minnesota school district allowed a homecoming event called 'Wigger Day,' during which students wore clothes and behaved in a manner that 'from their perspective, mimicked black culture,' according to a federal a class action lawsuit filed against the district on Friday.
The suit alleges that despite student council voting on a 'tropical theme' for homecoming in 2009, a group of approximately 60 students from the predominantly white school instead attended the event dressed for 'Wigger Wednesday' in 'oversized sports jerseys, low-slung pants, baseball hats cocked to the side and 'doo rags.''
'Wigger is a pejorative slang term for a white person who emulates the mannerisms, language and fashions associated with African-American culture,' the complaint explains.
