Some Americans make news every Halloween for dressing up in racist costumes,Watch When the Camellia Blooms Online but some of this year's variety seem amplified by the campaign season.
A college football fan at Saturday's game between the University of Wisconsin and the University of Nebraska showed up wearing a President Barack Obama mask with a noose tied around the president's neck. The fan's friend, sporting a mask of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, was holding the other end of the rope.

The incident in Wisconsin is another in a string of racist incidents that have taken place on campuses around the country this year.
A student at the University of Central Arkansas was expelled from his fraternity earlier this week after he wore blackface to a party.
Two students at a university in Pennsylvania were suspended in late September after they sent out a series of Snapchats in which one of them danced around in blackface.
And earlier in September, a white student at a university in Tennessee was arrested for intimidation after he showed up to a Black Lives Matter protest trying to hand out bananas while wearing a gorilla mask.
