Toronto Maple Leafs forward Tyler Bozak appears to have joined what is now becoming an annual tradition of prominent public figures making questionable wardrobe choices at Halloween. Raffi Torres was ahead of him in line, doing something similar last year.

Barrington Walker, associate professor in the department of history at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ont., teaches courses on race, immigration, African Canadian history and legal history. He was asked about Bozak’s costume — intended as a tribute to late singer Michael Jackson — on Wednesday.

“Was it knowingly racist? No,” he said. “But does it have consequences with regard to racial insensitivity? I would say yes.”
