Around 30 white students at Memorial High School in Houston, Texas, sported cornrows, baggy sports jerseys and gold chains on Tuesday for what many students called Thug Day.

The day is part of the schools annual Spirit Week, which is created by the school to celebrate rising seniors. The theme of the day was Jersey Day but many students call it Thug Day, current Memorial High School senior Rachel Goodwin told HuffPost.

Goodwin tweeted several photos of her classmates wearing sweatbands and fake tattoos that read $wag for Spirit week, and her tweet quickly went viral. Other photos show female students dressed in baggy pants, sporting fake face tattoos and handcuffs. As of Friday morning, the images had received over 16,000 retweets .
