Woman reportedly uses cosplay costume to combat racist dress code

Figuring out what to wear to work can be hard enough, let alone if you have the kind of boss June Rivas appears to have.

Her office doesn't have a hard and fast dress code but recommends "clean and pressed," which seems easy enough. And yet with even those easy-breezy guidelines, Mashable reports that Rivas says she still managed to land in her boss's office and get reprimanded for her attire - specifically her ponytail.

So instead of offending her boss' eyeballs with her ponytail, she covered her hair with her scarf, Problem solved. Or was it? (The answer is no, her problems had only just begun.)

Her boss upped the ante, banning "cultural head wraps" among other items. Rivas then filed a complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

And here's where things stopped being dramatic and started getting comical. Or Comic-con-al. Okay, that one was a stretch.

Rivas began coming to work dressed as a slew of comic book and sci-fi characters, which technically met the dress code guidelines.

Good luck with that ,Rivas. If they didn't like a pony tail, something tells us the pointed ears aren't going to go over well.
