H o w ? ? ?
These people can’t be real
Wearing costumes now = being racist.
What the f♥♥k? Mario’s one of the most wholesome non-racist characters that ever existed. SJW’s s♥♥t on trump all you want but leave Mario out of it. trust me Mario is no Bad hombre,there are worst people in real life that could be wearing a mexican outfit.

Am I the only one who detected sarcasm from most of those tweets? They seemed more like trolls. then again the line blurs between the two these days…
