"I was literally shaking," the 25-year-old said."I could not control my emotions. My whole body was shaking. I have never felt like that in my life."

In a statement, FIT president Joyce F Brown apologised"to anybody who has been offended by what they saw". "At the same time, I am deeply committed to creating a teaching and learning environment in which people are not offended or intimidated."Meanwhile, Jonathan Kyle Farmer, the chairman of modern fine arts fashion design at FIT, said he wanted to"deeply apologise for any harm and pain I've caused", in a post to Instagram.

I say again......What race?

The only crime here is the ridiculous clothes!

Unbelievable! 😂😂😂

Making people look stupid...yes. Racist...no.

They should apologise for making them look stupid, more like

Looks like Minnie Mouse. Where is the racism though?

Do we get to cry “Racism” if we ever see a Black person in a bowler hat? What about Mick Jagger? Do we need to forcibly reduce his lip size?

This is so funny...

Imagine you’re about to fulfill your dream of walking down the runway at a fashion show and they tell you to dress up as Mr Peepers 😂😂😂

damm I thought it was the latest botox

😂😂

Еще немного такой демократии и гегемон самоликвидируется.

Perhaps I am missing something? How to is clearly?

Mr Potato head is racist? What a disappointment.

What’s racist about looking like a monkey with big ears and lips? More like Ape appropriation! And if you are connecting it to some people then the racist is you!

But no human looks like this , I wonder who’s the real racist are .

On behalf of black people, we don't give a si7. This is not racist.

It’s funny that most looking at this thin of Mr Potato head? Not racism... People need to stop using oppression and embrace life a little more.

It’s offensive to the eyes more than black people

Mr Potatohead is hardly racist?

Racist? Where? I just see an exaggerated version of what young girls are turning into these days. Racist my ass

So why would the immediately assume it is about race. Chip on shoulders much!!!

Please tell me this is fake news coz I can’t take much more of this utter shit.

Any publicity is good publicity, I guess.

The world is fkd with all this bs for fashion models.. its a total joke.

Aren’t big lips and eyebrows fashionable at the moment? What’s the apology for? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Meooooow....

Mad world 🌍

seriously WTF

Morons on display!

addicted2newz I don’t think my first thought would have been it’s racist but it does look completely stupid
