I mean, that's why Northam's "I don't know if it's me" is so hard to believe, but then people used to do lots of stupid shit. People are doing stupid shit right now.
I recall my friend group in college having a "pimps and hoes" party (I can't recall if I attended, seems likely, but doubtful I put much effort into dressing up), a concept that is essentially acting out stereotypes. Is that really so different?
