Well... if ANYONE comes into my face dressed in a KKK uniform, I'm not gonna be nice to them because it's Halloween. They may try to kill me, I wouldn't know since people from the KKK are racist. PLUS racism is STILL going on so no, I will NOT respect some person in a KKK uniform
I wouldn't care @Northeast106 but a KKK hood is just too much. I care more about my safety than someone's feelings. If I'm nice to a real KKK member, I wonder what would happen... I trust no one tbh
kkk isn't the only form of white supremacist racism, the arayn race is one, the creativity movement and many others just shows how ignorant you are and because of your ego you will deny it even with all the evidence https://www.esrb.org/ratings/ratings_guide.aspx
lol I have so much control over your emotions I am surprised you didn't go anonymous again after I embarrassed you once again lol :) I'd say for a hood rat I know pretty damn well about things according to you lol
@blondfrog Lol you don't know crap about me. Making up things about someone doesn't make you look good at all, it makes you an ugly person. And first of all lol you didn't make me go anonymous LMAO you're NOTHING to but trash talking crap about stuff you don't know about. It makes you feel GOOD to actually think I went anonymous because of you, it's hilarious and you're a joke. That's what bullies do except I don't take crap from anyone. Disrespect me, best believe you're gonna get disrespected 10x harder than you think. You're nothing zero. I feel nothing for you but laughter lol. You're definitely a hood rat, look at your behavior. You're always bothering me and getting on my nerves, get it through your head I DO NOT LIKE YOU at all lol. Gosh smh when are you gonna get it through your ugly self.
Oh yeah lol not JUST your personality is ugly, you are too :)
Its amazing how you have to try and bring people down to your level I mean you even admitted yourself on that one question of yours that you were ugly and then you took it so personal when I just told you that you weren't attractive you asked for our honesty so I gave it to you. It was a good amount of guys that made you go anonymous 16 I believe so your insecurity went down even more and you went anonymous. There is no other absolutely no other reason someone goes anonymous besides having shame lol you got shamed and you try to mirror your own image on to me that's a self defense mechanism right there its called projection.
@blondfrog LMAO dude 😂 😂 YOU'RE bothering ME. I don't stalk you because you mean NOTHING to me. So I'm not 'bringing anyone down to my level' if I was though they're be sky high. I'm doing great for myself and don't need some internet guy trying to make me feel like I am because I know darn well I am and Idc what you or anyone else say about me. I know myself VERY well, you don't so talk about things you ACTUALLY know about.
I did not call myself ugly, It was a simple question for a freaking project!! GET. IT THORUGH. YOUR. HEAD. I don't need peoples improvement on my appearance. I LOVE myself too darn much to give af.
First of all I didn't take it personally. My question was specific. "WHAT doesn't make attractive" or something like that and you specially said I look like a hoodrat. Last time I check a hoodrat is a ho from the hood. I am virgin so the ho part isn't true, I don't live in the hood therefore I am not a hoodrat. The fact that you even said proves how much a racist yo
@blondfrog -u are. I'm black so I'm from the hood right? My parents are freaking doctors!! We live in a nice house NOWHERE near the hood. How's THAT for a 'hoodrat'
Lol no buddy. I went anonymous because no one was answering my question and I didn't want anyone else to respond because I was done and didn't care about my project anymore which I don't have to explain to you but since you're soooo slow and convinced that I care what you and other strangers say, I'll still say it because you're getting on my freaking nerves thinking I ACTUALLY care about you.
I'm insecure? As I stated. I LOVE myself TOO much to care what some strangers say about me especially when they don't know me at all. Even if guys at my college wasn't trying to be my boyfriend, I'll STILL be as confident as I am.
You're idiotic if you actually believe your own crap. "There is no other absolutely no other reason someone goes anonymous besides having shame lol" LMAO gtfo smh
you spread ignorance and you did on this post again if you lie once you probably are gone lie even more times in your case you have lied multiple times. I like how you say your not upset yet you typed in capital letters loll. Stalking? lol get over yourself I answered this mytake cause it was on my feed your ugly get over yourself you posted it I mean the proof is right there for a project then you certainly did not do your experiment the right way for a project you don't ask a social experiment question in that manner. And you even disavow your question it seems lol. You should just have asked do you think I am pretty not starting off with what do you think makes me ugly? lol
@blondfrog Lol dimwit just because you answered this freaking question, doesn't mean you have to go through EVERY question. Shouldve skipped mine or something, idc. Just know you're nothing to me and you don't have to comment on every freaking comment I made. Don't you have kkk meetings to go? Bye lol go bother some other girl that'll let you disrespect her, I'm sure that'll make you very happy. Gosh dude take your ugly self to your meetings, I'm sure they need you. I surly dont :)
And you told me not to make assumptions about people yet you made one about me and said i go to kkk meetings lol. This is exactly what I was trying to prove how there are non white people who draw the race card and get special privileges one of the main ones being affirmative action.
@blondfrog Lol I basically think every racist person is in the kkk now that it's forming. Why would I not assume that? Racist people reach out to other racist. You should know that racist person. It's not hard to figure out. It's pretty much common sense
oh okay I can see that your trolling now either that or your just a plain idiot lol but you do know that blac people can be racist too and there aer racist black organizations just as the Israelite's they are black jewish people who hate whites and any other race that is not them and their religion. And that's just one of many examples there are black people who aren't in organizations
@blondfrog And yes, there are black people that are prejudice... I wonder WHY though lol. People like you would make someone (as sweet as I am) prejudice
lol wow I like how you blame all your bitterness and hatred towards white people lol get over yourself. There are hispanics who hate blacks there are blacks who hate hispanics there are blacks who hate whites just because they feel they are better that's racist right there. Your an idiot why should I believe anything you say when you have been caught lying several times. You parents are doctors lol get out of here if I asked you a medical question then you should know it right? I will give you one that you wouldn't even know even if you went on webmd or googled it lol cause you wouldn't even know where to begin looking lol.
@blondfrog LMAO there you go again making assumptions (about me) when you don't even know WHAT you're talking about smh. I'm not blaming white plp for nothing but it's kinda obvious that most black plp hate white people because of white people. I mean look at you, being racist to a non racist person like myself basically making me believe most white people are just as bad as you. Even though I think that isn't true but when you see, hear about racist creeps, can't expect a person to think other wise. I do agree that SOME black probably just hate white people because they're white but I guarantee there's more white people that hate black for no reason than there are black people that do. I care for nothing you say dude lol. The only reason I am even STILL replying to you because thrive from proving bunkums like you wrong. It makes me happy, more than happy lmao. You're just an annoying leech that loves to bully. Well guess what bully? I LOVE to make people like YOU l look stupid! Lol. Haha freakn joke
lol dummy the only reason I talked about race is cause you started talking about the kkk and kept on saying I was a kkk member lol don't start things you can't finish. Every single time you talked to me you would talk about race I never mentioned race until you brought it up go back and read the posts idiot.
And you kept calling me hood rat just because I said you looked like a hood rat I never even said you were on your rate me question lol I said you looked like a hoodrat which you do based off the way you dress
@blondfrog Tf lol you are SUCH a freaking liar it's pathetic. You BEEN brought up race by calling me a hoodrat without knowing crap about me. Because I am black I'm a hoodrat right? Making up all kinds of silly crap to make yourself seem so right
LMFAO I LOOOK LIKE A HOODRAT BECAUSE OF THE WAY I DRESS? You're a joke😂 😂. Omfg you're hilarious dude and I don't mean funny, I'm talking silly. You're a silly person, I don't mean that in a positive way AT ALL by the way. Gosh lol dude aren't you too old to be loving in fairytale land? Smh wow lol
I am only 4 years older than you lmao and yeah based off the way you dress you deleted your rate me question so I couldn't use it against you lol how brilliant... not lol and there are certain ways hoodrats dress and you resemble them i mean I suck at dressing and dress better than you lol. If I was racist I would have said your ugly cause of your skin color hood rats come in all shaped, sizes, and colors. I have told nothing but truth your the one who keeps lying and I have proven that millions of times you retard please don't respond to this your ugly and a waste of time and I hope you get the worst disease ever you don't deserve life your foul creature. yukkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
@blondfrog Smh lol it wasn't a "rate me question" first of all and how was I dressed? All that showed was my shirt and face lmao. You're such a dimwit lol it's hilarious. You hope I catch diseases lol? That won't happen because when I start having sex, my partner WILL get tested for EVERYTHING. I'm a clean freak.
Also, I hope you die, a painful death lol. One you deserve. Maybe get beaten with bricks? YUP that one :) lol
Lol look the cheap ghetto clothes you wear those weird type of sweat pants or raggedy ugly colored jeaned pants you were wearing or whatever it was I am not a fashionista lol and looking you asking me how I was dressed you want my opinion now lol awe poor baby :( you want me to make you feel better? lol go to your safe zone on the internet where your fake internet buddies will compliment you and only give you the feed back you want to hear lol. Plus swag is ghetto that doesn't really scream success right there lol. And I like how you think you can only catch diseases through sex activity according to your logic lol.
There you go running your mouth again about things you don't know. As you get older your DNA goes through slight changes and your DNA can mutate which can results in getting a disease. Its called point mutation you idiot. You can catch a flu influenza is classified as a disease and you don't have to have sex in order to catch the flue or even kiss dummy lol. See this is why I don't believe you when you said your parent's are doctors. Also auto-immune disease can pop all of a sudden at any age in your life that's how people in their 20s and 30s can all of a sudden get rheumatoid arthritis, or other auto-immune diseases. Wow I hate your ghetto ass please drop dead and don't reproduce thankfully your ugly and that decreases your chances.
@blondfrog Lol I soooo thought you were gone smh. You're boring and this convo isn't even fun anymore. I'm not gonna even read what you said. Everything that comes out of your mouth is bs anyways. You're just wasting my time
Let's ban the traditional Halloween image of the witch (with greenish skin and a big warty nose and a pointy black hat) because it could offend Wiccans. And Frankenstein for disrespecting the sanctity of the dead. And cowboys because they herded innocent animals off to be slaughtered. etc etc etc
And one day we all woke up and we're offended by everything.
People like you contribute to the decline of society we've been experiencing the past few years for this exact reason. Litterally NOBODY had any issues with these kinds of thing until very recently, now suddenly a few left-wing politicians make a declaration and suddenly all of their followers (or peasants, that's a more accurate description) follow the leader without giving a nanosecond of thought to the reasoning, or lack thereof, of the mindset change. Then to top it all off these people harass others who do think about and refuse to go along with it, saying some of the most hateful and bigoted things I've ever heard.
I can see why some of these images/choices of costumes can cause offence.
What fascinates me more than anything is the choice of costumes that people wear? I can understand someone dressing up as a witch, a devil, a vampire or werewolf but why would anyone dress up as a Mexican? Blacken their face or whiten their face? When I was a kid, Halloween was about ghouls, monsters and things that went bump in the night. So I just don't understand where or when stupid costumes like the above became the normality for Halloween?

Exactly. In all my years dressing up as a kid, dressing as a minority was never an option. You were a ballerina or a baseball player, someone who could be anyone, but specifically dressing up as another race that is not your own and essentially the purpose is to make fun of that race or act in a racist manner... yeah, I have a problem with that. The problem is the people dressing like this aren't dressing like this and just walking around... they are changing their voice to mimic other races in a derogatory manner, they're making fun of the other race, and they are portraying them in a negative light.
I don't get the whole dressing up as anything other than traditional Haloween ghoulies and monsters, like a baseball player or ballerina doesn't equate to what I feel is Halloween, maybe I am old fashioned and don't fully understand the concept of Halloween.
I can understand why you feel the way you do and I can understand where those who feel opposite to you, but as a white man, I don't find the image of the black man who has "whitened his face" as being racist or offensive. To me, it's just imagine and a stupid Halloween costume. I can see why people would find it offensive and I think it's stupid. I remember a person was reported in the news as attending a Halloween party dressed as Bin Laden; it's just stupid but there you go, some people will do anything to garner attention.
It's just this sickness that people still think its okay to dress up as another race... not just that, but the offensive stereotypes, and slaves with white masters, and with scalps in hand, and with eyes taped back. As the first image points out, I'm a real person and you're making fun of that and not in a funny way, but intentionally in a racist manner. I wouldn't condone the black person in white face anymore than the white person in black face. It's just sad that there are a million different costumes out there, literally, and these people pick ones that they quite frankly know are offensive because they feel Halloween gives them the right to be as offensive as possible with no real repercussions.
This article is on point for Halloween. You shouldn't be dressing up in offensively stereotypical ways like that. I am Irish, so every St. Patrick's day when I see people dressing up like leprechauns, getting hammered and saying those "Irish" phrases I feel like my own culture is being mocked.
I cannot speak for other people living in and descended from Ireland, but I can speak on my feelings of that, and how so many other cultures are mocked by these costumes.
Funny you should mention St. Patrick's day because another person at least claiming to be Irish said in these comments, "you don't see anyone complaining about SPD" over the very thing you listed. You'll always find people who don't care about something important or can't be bothered which merely adds to the reason these things continue on. This take wasn't about banning Halloween or telling people not to dress up, its about the specific people who dress up in offensively stereotypical ways and hide behind Halloween or a SPD to claim everything is cool b/c its Halloween as if its somehow magically not racist or not stereotypical one day of the year. Glad you understand it. Thanks for your comments.
More like to sensitive and political correct people -shakes head- I think I'm with most people in the comments who don't think this is racist and that you people are just being to overly sensitive and politically correct. If they don't care and we don't care then were is the problem hmm? there isn't one

Gag is hardly the most accurate sampling poll of a population and most respondents aren't from what I gather minorities so its quite easy to say as someone the offense isn't meant for, that you don't care or its not offensive because it doesn't personally affect you. "Overly sensitive," is the go to phrase for individuals who don't have to deal with this or racism in their lives. Rather then say, you know what, what that particular person or individual is doing is racist, and we should shut that down, they just figure erroneously that its about them personally (and it may actually be) and that when they hear the word racist it automatically means someone is trying to speak ill of them. It's sadly what helps perpetuate the continuation of racism and racist behaviors and activities.
Just because you say something isn't offensive, doesn't mean it isn't especially if you aren't the target of the offending. Nothing in this world would ever get done or would improve if we went by the train of thought... since "everyone else" seems to be apathetic, no one should care or do anything.
I think this is not really that big of a deal, I really don't. It isn't meant to be nasty, they aren't wearing KKK outfits, if that stupid bint who "identifies as afro-carribean" can walk around pretending to be black then why can't we all?
A lot of these costumes are traditional dress, are you suggesting traditional dress is insulting and only the people from that culture can wear it? That's ridiculous if you are.
If a black person dyes their hair blonde should I feel insulted?
-_- White people are not the only group capable of having blonde hair. There are Black people who are born with blonde hair. Blonde hair is not a trait strictly exclusive to whites (nor are blue eyes).
As Esplorare said, there are black people who naturally have blond hair and blue eyes just as there are Asian people who have afro style hair, so those aren't traits specific to a race. YOu also didn't see this post b/c clearly there is and have been individuals wearing KKK outfits and dressing in black face and wearing slave chains... and for what purpose? This is the offensive part I'm talking about. People who dress up and tape their eyes back and make all sorts of racist comments "b/c oh, its just a costume." If that's not acceptable on Friday, how then is it magically acceptable on Saturday. It's not, and you're not going to convince me that its cool if someone things they can dress up as another race and insult them literally, and I should just shrug it off. I actually have respect for myself enough to realize that something and someone like that isn't right.
I can understand why painting yourself white, black, yellow... can be offensive, but how can someone get offended by wearing a costume? I don't see Romans getting offended when people dress as Romans. Seriously, people get offended so easily, and it's always the same people. No one is trying to undermine your culture, it's just all to have fun, it's not supposed to be offensive.

So dressing up as a Klu Klux Klan member is cool b/c it's 'just a costume.' Really? The KKK is still in affect, their entire purpose was basically to hate or kill minorities, and then to have two people dressed in black face hugging them... really? This is just a bit of fun to you? It's disgusting and so is going about taping ones eyes to be "an Asian" or going around with bombs dressed as "an Arab."
It's just a joke, it's not meant to offend anyone. I'm sure if the guy is dressed as thee KKK is laying on the floor with black dudes on top of him it'll be both funny and acceptable. You shouldn't be offended by everything, just live life and laugh at stuff, it's just a freaking costume.
That is often the issue when something is offensive. It is those who are either doing the offending or who aren't affected by the offense (i. e., they aren't Native American, Asian, etc) who are quick to say something isn't offensive. It's convenient and the easiest way for someone doing the offending to write it off as just a joke. The KKK isn't a joke to me, neither is someone dressing up as a terrorist with a bomb. These are real people, not imagined ones. Even in your description, it's like do you even hear yourself and what you're saying. You're saying its acceptable to you, but from your picture, you're not black so how is it you are the authority on what a black person seeing someone dressed in a KKK uniform should be feeling when you haven't experienced the history behind it? So Monday morning, its okay for you to walk into school wearing black face or a KKK hood b/c its "just a joke." Yeah, no, it isn't because it is racist and offensive.
We're talking about HALLOWEEN! If it's done any other time of the year I can see the offense in that, but not during a holiday where it's all about having fun. Did I say I'm the authority? No. I jut said that in my opinion it's stupid to be offended by something like that. I don't care if they make fun about my race or nationality, as long as it's just for fun and not trying to be offensive. You just gotta get yourself a sense of humor ;)
So because it's Halloween it's not as racist? So people's feelings toward this thing change for one night of the year and then resume the next day? Lmao.
@shadiamond well, it's Halloween, that's the purpose, to dress as something (originally it was something scary or that causes violence, therefore it's more normal to dress as the KKK than as a slutty nurse). If you dress as Jason on Halloween no one's gonna say anything, but dress as Jason any other day and expect the cops to stop you and have people running away from you.
Hmm I liked this. I even learned a little bit about Native American culture from the video. Especially the about how they would say a prayer for each bead, it gives you some insight on who these people are. Awesome stuff. :]
please tell me where the internet hurt you... unless it's the kkk or nazi's or anything of the like, then it's not offensive. are we gonna cry about people dressing up like cowboys because they enslaved cows? is it not ok to dress as a ghost since it will offend the dead? get over yourself social justice warrior. your powers don't work.

I specifically pointed out racist costumes for a reason. A cowboy can literally be anybody, man, woman, child, any race. My issue is with people who put on KKK hoods, and black/white face, or put on costumes such as "Arab bomber" that intentionally are racist and mock people's culture/race. Halloween used to be about people being Ballerina's, and cops, and ghosts, but somehow now, some people think its okay to be racist on Halloween.
lol, the 1st thing i thought of was dressing as a cop is offensive to black people #blacklivesmatter XD. also, then what about vikings, leprechauns, romans, greeks, robots, etc? and no one said anything about dressing up as an arab bomber. lol, you're just bringing in stereotypes and supplementing them into places that conveniently make you sound right... that's like saying that people who dress up in blackface immediately go for ghetto thugs. blackface/whiteface is wrong and more so creepy, but beyond the fucking obvious, use some fucking common sense instead of pretending that things are racist because you are overly sensitive about issues you probably don't actually care about.
As a black guy I've gotten to the point were I don't give a shit about Halloween anymore. I got pulled over cause I was speeding on the way to take an explosive shit and despite explaining myself as calmly as possible the police officer continuously assumed I was on drugs and proceeded to search my car. I would think that it was my weird behavior from the need to poop if this hadn't happened every single time I got pulled over. I don't do drugs and give off zero signs that I would. If some priveleged white kid's decided to rub brown shit on their face for a cheap laugh at a Halloween party I honestly don't give a shit. I've got real problems to focus on like incarceration rates, gentrification, and the dwindling population of black males in any professional position. Having people bring up Halloween as an actual problem that needs more attention is almost if not more infuriating then the costumes themself.
Unless their purposely acting like a fool in an attempt to portray a race as stupid or otherwise (like blackface) it's not even close to racist.
Also ignorance is not racist, some people get upset because a race is being misrepresented, but people dressing up are doing it for fun, not for a cultural art project. Some people need to get over themselves.
The kkk one I can see how some people would freak out over that.
Though a lot of times people want to look like the character and if that character has a different skin tone. You want to make yourself look more like them. Majority of the time they aren't trying to be racist. They are dressed like them because they think they are so awesome they want to look like them for Halloween.
they're just costumes complaining about them not being accurate is like complaining that taco bell isn't authentic mexican food it's not meant to be authentic or accurate it's just meant to be a costume most of the time a sexy costume and it doesn't mean they are racist or trying to say that your people no longer exist like in the picture where the girls have sombreros on im mexican and i'm not saying this is offensive this means they think we are like roman soldiers or vikings no i understand the humor in that and the kkk member one they have a sense of humor maybe in bad taste so it could offend you but just because you find something offensive doesn't mean you must change it and or call it racism just because i find a comedy show offensive (i wouldn't cause it's comedy) doesn't mean i then go and cancel the show #cancelcolbert social justice wariors are just too motivated and have no real cause to fight for

You whiny little child! You can't handle a joke. THAT is racist. Your costant consideration of race that you can't relax and laugh at a harmless joke. Stereotypes are known to be just that and no one thinks otherwise. The only people who claim that's not true are whiny social justice warriors with nothing better to do than to ruin Halloween.
I agree completely. The people who are most likely to have a problem with this post or rush to call whine about being politically correct or dismiss you as hypersensitive are most likely white or people of color who are so far up the azzes of white folk that they pretend there's nothing wrong with this.
@ShaeNielson That mediocre, basic, unintelligent logic didn't even present a legitimate correlation. FYI, white people aren't the only ones who are or have been cowboys.
At least I don't have to live me life, being so overly sensitive and easily butthurt. You're getting outraged over a simple question, that's pretty low :)
@ShaeNielson Sweetie, I'm not being "overly sensitive and easily butthurt" simply for being able to EMPATHIZE and CONSIDER OTHER PEOPLE'S FEELINGS outside of my own self-absorption. The problem with you and various many other white people, according to this post, is that you fail to empathize and be sensitive towards other people. You utterly fail to understand where people are coming from because you are self-centered at a disgusting level where you make everything all about you, your thoughts, your feelings, and your interpretation. You have managed to make this entire discussion about you and your realm of understanding. There's nothing lower than that. ;) Get over yourself.
I'm not outraged at all, honey. That was you making an assumption after you sh*tted all over your intellect by trying to bring your adolescent, dramatic nonsense to my post.
In amercia you get freedom of expression if you don't like it then you can get out. focusing on macro problems are way more important than micro problems and this whole costume thing is not even a micro problem your the one so far up your ass you think you can just push your beliefs on everybody else and that's called fascism in a nut shell.
@blondfrog Shut your non-American ass up. You are not even in this fucking country. Who the hell are you to say "If you don't like it then get out" as someone who's not even in? I am so God damn sick of you inserting yourself in American issues as a foreigner who doesn't even live here. You pulled the same nosey, insensitive, unempathetic, self-centered sh*t on the eve of 9/11 trying to tell Americans how to think and feel about their local issues that don't even involve your ass.
I didn't attempt to push my beliefs on anyone: I EXPRESSED AN OPINION WHICH WAS ASKED OF ME. Unlike you running your whiny ass mouth expressing your worthless opinion on my post which I did not ask for. Don't tell me or any other American what the fuck to worry about, be passionate about, or be concerned about because it's none of your damn business. You don't get to proclaim what people on the other side of the planet are concerned about when it comes to a country that they exist in which you do not.
lol I live in America and I know way more about American history than you do. 9/11 was an actual prolem involving people's live's at stake unlike this whole you can't wear this "costume issue"
I can post where ever I want if you got a problem with that then block me so then I can have power over you blocking me would show how your feelings got so hurt and how I have control over your emotions. I went to school here and study in the scientific field which I would completely destroy you in.
@blondfrog You don't know what I know because you have never even asked me what I know. You are simply arrogantly assuming that you know more about American history than me. Regardless of where the fuck you're from: You have no legitimate place or right to be dictating what others should care about. It's none of your business of other people choose to be interested and passionate about a particular issue. We don't all have to go through you first in order to be approved to care about certain things or address occurrences that don't sit well with us.
LMFAO! Go fix your delusions in the privacy of a therapist's office before you start arrogantly running your mouth. You said the same lame, false, pathetic ish on my post when you were crying about a girl who blocked you 2 years ago. Claiming you have power over her emotions and acting like you can "destroy" someone with your keyboard. Get real lol!
Oddly enough, this isn't a consequence of deliberate racism... but of... globalism.
Globalism encourages world trade. World trade encourages outsourcing to other countries. Countries where locals just want to make a quick buck making your stuff for you and shipping it back.
Do you honestly think that the average Chinese factory worker gives two flying f*s about accuracy when making an "Indian" costume? It's not like they're disrespecting Chinese history. And if we don't complain to them, and keep buying the cheap crap because of the price, then they don't care if they get the bead arrangements all wrong.
If I want accuracy, I'll visit an actual reservation and ask for a tour. If I want to screw around, I'll go to the costume store, with cheap costumes made by lazy and apathetic designers.
Speaking of which, that's what's really at fault: laziness and apathy. Not racism.
Racism is not "a cultural difference." A cultural difference is you wear a head covering in your culture, and I don't. Racism isn't something to be celebrated. It would be intriguing however to embrace the morph suit. No one looks like anything in them. It's the ultimate anonymous and ambiguous costume.
Yes, it is the most perfectly ambiguous costume there is. That's the whole point of it, the entire episode was made to make fun of people who are easily offended.
This is what Halloween would become if we tried too hard to not offend anyone. Everything is offensive these days. Suck it up.

I'll just leave this here, seems an apt summary:
www.q107fm.ca/.../...re-fun-of-any-kind-cce36d.jpg
Well... if ANYONE comes into my face dressed in a KKK uniform, I'm not gonna be nice to them because it's Halloween. They may try to kill me, I wouldn't know since people from the KKK are racist. PLUS racism is STILL going on so no, I will NOT respect some person in a KKK uniform
What about something more mild, like a samurai warrior or a Mongolian warrior or something?
I wouldn't care @Northeast106 but a KKK hood is just too much. I care more about my safety than someone's feelings. If I'm nice to a real KKK member, I wonder what would happen... I trust no one tbh
@capricornswagL I don't blame you on that one. Always stay safe out there.
@Northeast106 Exactly lol
kkk isn't the only form of white supremacist racism, the arayn race is one, the creativity movement and many others just shows how ignorant you are and because of your ego you will deny it even with all the evidence https://www.esrb.org/ratings/ratings_guide.aspx
@blondfrog LMAO Idc what idiots like you say. You're probably THE kkk. Have fun at your sh*t meetings :)
lol I have so much control over your emotions I am surprised you didn't go anonymous again after I embarrassed you once again lol :) I'd say for a hood rat I know pretty damn well about things according to you lol
@blondfrog Lol you don't know crap about me. Making up things about someone doesn't make you look good at all, it makes you an ugly person. And first of all lol you didn't make me go anonymous LMAO you're NOTHING to but trash talking crap about stuff you don't know about. It makes you feel GOOD to actually think I went anonymous because of you, it's hilarious and you're a joke. That's what bullies do except I don't take crap from anyone. Disrespect me, best believe you're gonna get disrespected 10x harder than you think. You're nothing zero. I feel nothing for you but laughter lol. You're definitely a hood rat, look at your behavior. You're always bothering me and getting on my nerves, get it through your head I DO NOT LIKE YOU at all lol. Gosh smh when are you gonna get it through your ugly self.
Oh yeah lol not JUST your personality is ugly, you are too :)
Its amazing how you have to try and bring people down to your level I mean you even admitted yourself on that one question of yours that you were ugly and then you took it so personal when I just told you that you weren't attractive you asked for our honesty so I gave it to you. It was a good amount of guys that made you go anonymous 16 I believe so your insecurity went down even more and you went anonymous. There is no other absolutely no other reason someone goes anonymous besides having shame lol you got shamed and you try to mirror your own image on to me that's a self defense mechanism right there its called projection.
@blondfrog LMAO dude 😂 😂 YOU'RE bothering ME. I don't stalk you because you mean NOTHING to me. So I'm not 'bringing anyone down to my level' if I was though they're be sky high. I'm doing great for myself and don't need some internet guy trying to make me feel like I am because I know darn well I am and Idc what you or anyone else say about me. I know myself VERY well, you don't so talk about things you ACTUALLY know about.
I did not call myself ugly, It was a simple question for a freaking project!! GET. IT
THORUGH. YOUR. HEAD. I don't need peoples improvement on my appearance. I LOVE myself too darn much to give af.
First of all I didn't take it personally. My question was specific. "WHAT doesn't make attractive" or something like that and you specially said I look like a hoodrat. Last time I check a hoodrat is a ho from the hood. I am virgin so the ho part isn't true, I don't live in the hood therefore I am not a hoodrat. The fact that you even said proves how much a racist yo
@blondfrog -u are. I'm black so I'm from the hood right? My parents are freaking doctors!! We live in a nice house NOWHERE near the hood. How's THAT for a 'hoodrat'
Lol no buddy. I went anonymous because no one was answering my question and I didn't want anyone else to respond because I was done and didn't care about my project anymore which I don't have to explain to you but since you're soooo slow and convinced that I care what you and other strangers say, I'll still say it because you're getting on my freaking nerves thinking I ACTUALLY care about you.
I'm insecure? As I stated. I LOVE myself TOO much to care what some strangers say about me especially when they don't know me at all. Even if guys at my college wasn't trying to be my boyfriend, I'll STILL be as confident as I am.
You're idiotic if you actually believe your own crap. "There is no other absolutely no other reason someone goes anonymous besides having shame lol" LMAO gtfo smh
@blondfrog "you try to mirror your own image on to me that's a self defense mechanism right there its called projection"
IDC. I know me better than you. you're a freaking internet guy. Wtf do YOU know about ME? LMAO NOTHING, ZERO, CERO
you spread ignorance and you did on this post again if you lie once you probably are gone lie even more times in your case you have lied multiple times.
I like how you say your not upset yet you typed in capital letters loll. Stalking? lol get over yourself I answered this mytake cause it was on my feed your ugly get over yourself you posted it I mean the proof is right there for a project then you certainly did not do your experiment the right way for a project you don't ask a social experiment question in that manner. And you even disavow your question it seems lol. You should just have asked do you think I am pretty not starting off with what do you think makes me ugly? lol
@blondfrog Lol dimwit just because you answered this freaking question, doesn't mean you have to go through EVERY question. Shouldve skipped mine or something, idc. Just know you're nothing to me and you don't have to comment on every freaking comment I made. Don't you have kkk meetings to go? Bye lol go bother some other girl that'll let you disrespect her, I'm sure that'll make you very happy. Gosh dude take your ugly self to your meetings, I'm sure they need you. I surly dont :)
And you told me not to make assumptions about people yet you made one about me and said i go to kkk meetings lol. This is exactly what I was trying to prove how there are non white people who draw the race card and get special privileges one of the main ones being affirmative action.
@blondfrog Lol I basically think every racist person is in the kkk now that it's forming. Why would I not assume that? Racist people reach out to other racist. You should know that racist person. It's not hard to figure out. It's pretty much common sense
oh okay I can see that your trolling now either that or your just a plain idiot lol but you do know that blac people can be racist too and there aer racist black organizations just as the Israelite's they are black jewish people who hate whites and any other race that is not them and their religion. And that's just one of many examples there are black people who aren't in organizations
who are racists as well
@blondfrog Lmao I'm trolling? YOU'RE the one bothering ME, not the other way around. I'll be 100% happy if I NEVER hear from you again -_-
@blondfrog And yes, there are black people that are prejudice... I wonder WHY though lol. People like you would make someone (as sweet as I am) prejudice
lol wow I like how you blame all your bitterness and hatred towards white people lol get over yourself. There are hispanics who hate blacks there are blacks who hate hispanics there are blacks who hate whites just because they feel they are better that's racist right there. Your an idiot why should I believe anything you say when you have been caught lying several times. You parents are doctors lol get out of here if I asked you a medical question then you should know it right? I will give you one that you wouldn't even know even if you went on webmd or googled it lol cause you wouldn't even know where to begin looking lol.
@blondfrog LMAO there you go again making assumptions (about me) when you don't even know WHAT you're talking about smh. I'm not blaming white plp for nothing but it's kinda obvious that most black plp hate white people because of white people. I mean look at you, being racist to a non racist person like myself basically making me believe most white people are just as bad as you. Even though I think that isn't true but when you see, hear about racist creeps, can't expect a person to think other wise. I do agree that SOME black probably just hate white people because they're white but I guarantee there's more white people that hate black for no reason than there are black people that do. I care for nothing you say dude lol. The only reason I am even STILL replying to you because thrive from proving bunkums like you wrong. It makes me happy, more than happy lmao. You're just an annoying leech that loves to bully. Well guess what bully? I LOVE to make people like YOU l look stupid! Lol. Haha freakn joke
lol dummy the only reason I talked about race is cause you started talking about the kkk and kept on saying I was a kkk member lol don't start things you can't finish. Every single time you talked to me you would talk about race I never mentioned race until you brought it up go back and read the posts idiot.
And you kept calling me hood rat just because I said you looked like a hood rat I never even said you were on your rate me question lol I said you looked like a hoodrat which you do based off the way you dress
@blondfrog Tf lol you are SUCH a freaking liar it's pathetic. You BEEN brought up race by calling me a hoodrat without knowing crap about me. Because I am black I'm a hoodrat right? Making up all kinds of silly crap to make yourself seem so right
LMFAO I LOOOK LIKE A HOODRAT BECAUSE OF THE WAY I DRESS? You're a joke😂 😂. Omfg you're hilarious dude and I don't mean funny, I'm talking silly. You're a silly person, I don't mean that in a positive way AT ALL by the way. Gosh lol dude aren't you too old to be loving in fairytale land? Smh wow lol
I am only 4 years older than you lmao and yeah based off the way you dress you deleted your rate me question so I couldn't use it against you lol how brilliant... not lol and there are certain ways hoodrats dress and you resemble them i mean I suck at dressing and dress better than you lol. If I was racist I would have said your ugly cause of your skin color hood rats come in all shaped, sizes, and colors. I have told nothing but truth your the one who keeps lying and I have proven that millions of times you retard please don't respond to this your ugly and a waste of time and I hope you get the worst disease ever you don't deserve life your foul creature. yukkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
@blondfrog Smh lol it wasn't a "rate me question" first of all and how was I dressed? All that showed was my shirt and face lmao. You're such a dimwit lol it's hilarious. You hope I catch diseases lol? That won't happen because when I start having sex, my partner WILL get tested for EVERYTHING. I'm a clean freak.
Also, I hope you die, a painful death lol. One you deserve. Maybe get beaten with bricks? YUP that one :) lol
Lol look the cheap ghetto clothes you wear those weird type of sweat pants or raggedy ugly colored jeaned pants you were wearing or whatever it was I am not a fashionista lol and looking you asking me how I was dressed you want my opinion now lol awe poor baby :( you want me to make you feel better? lol go to your safe zone on the internet where your fake internet buddies will compliment you and only give you the feed back you want to hear lol. Plus swag is ghetto that doesn't really scream success right there lol. And I like how you think you can only catch diseases through sex activity according to your logic lol.
@blondfrog LMAO I don't need people to give me compliments especially not you. Who are you to me again? Cero lol. Get through your head gosh lol
@blondfrog How else am I going to catch diseases that I CAN prevent from happening lmao. Gtfo smh
There you go running your mouth again about things you don't know. As you get older your DNA goes through slight changes and your DNA can mutate which can results in getting a disease. Its called point mutation you idiot. You can catch a flu influenza is classified as a disease and you don't have to have sex in order to catch the flue or even kiss dummy lol. See this is why I don't believe you when you said your parent's are doctors. Also auto-immune disease can pop all of a sudden at any age in your life that's how people in their 20s and 30s can all of a sudden get rheumatoid arthritis, or other auto-immune diseases. Wow I hate your ghetto ass please drop dead and don't reproduce thankfully your ugly and that decreases your chances.
@blondfrog Lol I soooo thought you were gone smh. You're boring and this convo isn't even fun anymore. I'm not gonna even read what you said. Everything that comes out of your mouth is bs anyways. You're just wasting my time
Let's ban the traditional Halloween image of the witch (with greenish skin and a big warty nose and a pointy black hat) because it could offend Wiccans. And Frankenstein for disrespecting the sanctity of the dead. And cowboys because they herded innocent animals off to be slaughtered. etc etc etc
And one day we all woke up and we're offended by everything.
People like you contribute to the decline of society we've been experiencing the past few years for this exact reason. Litterally NOBODY had any issues with these kinds of thing until very recently, now suddenly a few left-wing politicians make a declaration and suddenly all of their followers (or peasants, that's a more accurate description) follow the leader without giving a nanosecond of thought to the reasoning, or lack thereof, of the mindset change. Then to top it all off these people harass others who do think about and refuse to go along with it, saying some of the most hateful and bigoted things I've ever heard.
People who make these arguments disgust me.
SJWs are sucking the fun out of everything.
I can see why some of these images/choices of costumes can cause offence.
What fascinates me more than anything is the choice of costumes that people wear? I can understand someone dressing up as a witch, a devil, a vampire or werewolf but why would anyone dress up as a Mexican? Blacken their face or whiten their face? When I was a kid, Halloween was about ghouls, monsters and things that went bump in the night. So I just don't understand where or when stupid costumes like the above became the normality for Halloween?
Exactly. In all my years dressing up as a kid, dressing as a minority was never an option. You were a ballerina or a baseball player, someone who could be anyone, but specifically dressing up as another race that is not your own and essentially the purpose is to make fun of that race or act in a racist manner... yeah, I have a problem with that. The problem is the people dressing like this aren't dressing like this and just walking around... they are changing their voice to mimic other races in a derogatory manner, they're making fun of the other race, and they are portraying them in a negative light.
I don't get the whole dressing up as anything other than traditional Haloween ghoulies and monsters, like a baseball player or ballerina doesn't equate to what I feel is Halloween, maybe I am old fashioned and don't fully understand the concept of Halloween.
I can understand why you feel the way you do and I can understand where those who feel opposite to you, but as a white man, I don't find the image of the black man who has "whitened his face" as being racist or offensive. To me, it's just imagine and a stupid Halloween costume. I can see why people would find it offensive and I think it's stupid. I remember a person was reported in the news as attending a Halloween party dressed as Bin Laden; it's just stupid but there you go, some people will do anything to garner attention.
It's just this sickness that people still think its okay to dress up as another race... not just that, but the offensive stereotypes, and slaves with white masters, and with scalps in hand, and with eyes taped back. As the first image points out, I'm a real person and you're making fun of that and not in a funny way, but intentionally in a racist manner. I wouldn't condone the black person in white face anymore than the white person in black face. It's just sad that there are a million different costumes out there, literally, and these people pick ones that they quite frankly know are offensive because they feel Halloween gives them the right to be as offensive as possible with no real repercussions.
This article is on point for Halloween. You shouldn't be dressing up in offensively stereotypical ways like that. I am Irish, so every St. Patrick's day when I see people dressing up like leprechauns, getting hammered and saying those "Irish" phrases I feel like my own culture is being mocked.
Until you see the Irish doing it 10x harder haha
I cannot speak for other people living in and descended from Ireland, but I can speak on my feelings of that, and how so many other cultures are mocked by these costumes.
exactly
Funny you should mention St. Patrick's day because another person at least claiming to be Irish said in these comments, "you don't see anyone complaining about SPD" over the very thing you listed. You'll always find people who don't care about something important or can't be bothered which merely adds to the reason these things continue on. This take wasn't about banning Halloween or telling people not to dress up, its about the specific people who dress up in offensively stereotypical ways and hide behind Halloween or a SPD to claim everything is cool b/c its Halloween as if its somehow magically not racist or not stereotypical one day of the year. Glad you understand it. Thanks for your comments.
are you being sarcastic? lol
No, I was not being sarcastic.
More like to sensitive and political correct people -shakes head- I think I'm with most people in the comments who don't think this is racist and that you people are just being to overly sensitive and politically correct. If they don't care and we don't care then were is the problem hmm? there isn't one
Gag is hardly the most accurate sampling poll of a population and most respondents aren't from what I gather minorities so its quite easy to say as someone the offense isn't meant for, that you don't care or its not offensive because it doesn't personally affect you. "Overly sensitive," is the go to phrase for individuals who don't have to deal with this or racism in their lives. Rather then say, you know what, what that particular person or individual is doing is racist, and we should shut that down, they just figure erroneously that its about them personally (and it may actually be) and that when they hear the word racist it automatically means someone is trying to speak ill of them. It's sadly what helps perpetuate the continuation of racism and racist behaviors and activities.
Just because you say something isn't offensive, doesn't mean it isn't especially if you aren't the target of the offending. Nothing in this world would ever get done or would improve if we went by the train of thought... since "everyone else" seems to be apathetic, no one should care or do anything.
For the sake of being down voted by asker... and this was a well written post but completely off shot by the fact that no one gives a shit.
uproxx.files.wordpress.com/.../shoots-cartman.jpg
I think this is not really that big of a deal, I really don't. It isn't meant to be nasty, they aren't wearing KKK outfits, if that stupid bint who "identifies as afro-carribean" can walk around pretending to be black then why can't we all?
A lot of these costumes are traditional dress, are you suggesting traditional dress is insulting and only the people from that culture can wear it? That's ridiculous if you are.
If a black person dyes their hair blonde should I feel insulted?
-_- White people are not the only group capable of having blonde hair. There are Black people who are born with blonde hair. Blonde hair is not a trait strictly exclusive to whites (nor are blue eyes).
nikkynaz.blogspot.com/.../...in-blue-eyes-and.html
*capable of being BORN WITH blonde hair
As Esplorare said, there are black people who naturally have blond hair and blue eyes just as there are Asian people who have afro style hair, so those aren't traits specific to a race. YOu also didn't see this post b/c clearly there is and have been individuals wearing KKK outfits and dressing in black face and wearing slave chains... and for what purpose? This is the offensive part I'm talking about. People who dress up and tape their eyes back and make all sorts of racist comments "b/c oh, its just a costume." If that's not acceptable on Friday, how then is it magically acceptable on Saturday. It's not, and you're not going to convince me that its cool if someone things they can dress up as another race and insult them literally, and I should just shrug it off. I actually have respect for myself enough to realize that something and someone like that isn't right.
You're mistaking my saying I don't find a costume offensive with me saying offensive and ignorant behaviour is ok.
I can understand why painting yourself white, black, yellow... can be offensive, but how can someone get offended by wearing a costume? I don't see Romans getting offended when people dress as Romans. Seriously, people get offended so easily, and it's always the same people.
No one is trying to undermine your culture, it's just all to have fun, it's not supposed to be offensive.
So dressing up as a Klu Klux Klan member is cool b/c it's 'just a costume.' Really? The KKK is still in affect, their entire purpose was basically to hate or kill minorities, and then to have two people dressed in black face hugging them... really? This is just a bit of fun to you? It's disgusting and so is going about taping ones eyes to be "an Asian" or going around with bombs dressed as "an Arab."
It's just a joke, it's not meant to offend anyone. I'm sure if the guy is dressed as thee KKK is laying on the floor with black dudes on top of him it'll be both funny and acceptable.
You shouldn't be offended by everything, just live life and laugh at stuff, it's just a freaking costume.
That is often the issue when something is offensive. It is those who are either doing the offending or who aren't affected by the offense (i. e., they aren't Native American, Asian, etc) who are quick to say something isn't offensive. It's convenient and the easiest way for someone doing the offending to write it off as just a joke. The KKK isn't a joke to me, neither is someone dressing up as a terrorist with a bomb. These are real people, not imagined ones. Even in your description, it's like do you even hear yourself and what you're saying. You're saying its acceptable to you, but from your picture, you're not black so how is it you are the authority on what a black person seeing someone dressed in a KKK uniform should be feeling when you haven't experienced the history behind it? So Monday morning, its okay for you to walk into school wearing black face or a KKK hood b/c its "just a joke." Yeah, no, it isn't because it is racist and offensive.
We're talking about HALLOWEEN! If it's done any other time of the year I can see the offense in that, but not during a holiday where it's all about having fun. Did I say I'm the authority? No. I jut said that in my opinion it's stupid to be offended by something like that.
I don't care if they make fun about my race or nationality, as long as it's just for fun and not trying to be offensive.
You just gotta get yourself a sense of humor ;)
So because it's Halloween it's not as racist? So people's feelings toward this thing change for one night of the year and then resume the next day? Lmao.
@shadiamond well, it's Halloween, that's the purpose, to dress as something (originally it was something scary or that causes violence, therefore it's more normal to dress as the KKK than as a slutty nurse). If you dress as Jason on Halloween no one's gonna say anything, but dress as Jason any other day and expect the cops to stop you and have people running away from you.
@shadiamond
You REALLY need to chill the f out. you get offended for the smallest offenses here
Hmm I liked this. I even learned a little bit about Native American culture from the video. Especially the about how they would say a prayer for each bead, it gives you some insight on who these people are. Awesome stuff. :]
please tell me where the internet hurt you... unless it's the kkk or nazi's or anything of the like, then it's not offensive. are we gonna cry about people dressing up like cowboys because they enslaved cows? is it not ok to dress as a ghost since it will offend the dead? get over yourself social justice warrior. your powers don't work.
I specifically pointed out racist costumes for a reason. A cowboy can literally be anybody, man, woman, child, any race. My issue is with people who put on KKK hoods, and black/white face, or put on costumes such as "Arab bomber" that intentionally are racist and mock people's culture/race. Halloween used to be about people being Ballerina's, and cops, and ghosts, but somehow now, some people think its okay to be racist on Halloween.
lol, the 1st thing i thought of was dressing as a cop is offensive to black people #blacklivesmatter XD. also, then what about vikings, leprechauns, romans, greeks, robots, etc? and no one said anything about dressing up as an arab bomber. lol, you're just bringing in stereotypes and supplementing them into places that conveniently make you sound right... that's like saying that people who dress up in blackface immediately go for ghetto thugs. blackface/whiteface is wrong and more so creepy, but beyond the fucking obvious, use some fucking common sense instead of pretending that things are racist because you are overly sensitive about issues you probably don't actually care about.
@Other_Tommy_Wiseau *being sarcastic* I don't like the term "cow" I find it offensive I'm more comfortable with Bos Taurus American.
As a black guy I've gotten to the point were I don't give a shit about Halloween anymore. I got pulled over cause I was speeding on the way to take an explosive shit and despite explaining myself as calmly as possible the police officer continuously assumed I was on drugs and proceeded to search my car. I would think that it was my weird behavior from the need to poop if this hadn't happened every single time I got pulled over. I don't do drugs and give off zero signs that I would. If some priveleged white kid's decided to rub brown shit on their face for a cheap laugh at a Halloween party I honestly don't give a shit. I've got real problems to focus on like incarceration rates, gentrification, and the dwindling population of black males in any professional position. Having people bring up Halloween as an actual problem that needs more attention is almost if not more infuriating then the costumes themself.
Give me a break.
This is not racist, it's dressing up.
Unless their purposely acting like a fool in an attempt to portray a race as stupid or otherwise (like blackface) it's not even close to racist.
Also ignorance is not racist, some people get upset because a race is being misrepresented, but people dressing up are doing it for fun, not for a cultural art project. Some people need to get over themselves.
The kkk one I can see how some people would freak out over that.
Though a lot of times people want to look like the character and if that character has a different skin tone. You want to make yourself look more like them. Majority of the time they aren't trying to be racist. They are dressed like them because they think they are so awesome they want to look like them for Halloween.
they're just costumes complaining about them not being accurate is like complaining that taco bell isn't authentic mexican food it's not meant to be authentic or accurate it's just meant to be a costume most of the time a sexy costume and it doesn't mean they are racist or trying to say that your people no longer exist like in the picture where the girls have sombreros on im mexican and i'm not saying this is offensive this means they think we are like roman soldiers or vikings no i understand the humor in that and the kkk member one they have a sense of humor maybe in bad taste so it could offend you but just because you find something offensive doesn't mean you must change it and or call it racism just because i find a comedy show offensive (i wouldn't cause it's comedy) doesn't mean i then go and cancel the show #cancelcolbert social justice wariors are just too motivated and have no real cause to fight for
You whiny little child!
You can't handle a joke. THAT is racist. Your costant consideration of race that you can't relax and laugh at a harmless joke. Stereotypes are known to be just that and no one thinks otherwise. The only people who claim that's not true are whiny social justice warriors with nothing better to do than to ruin Halloween.
I agree completely. The people who are most likely to have a problem with this post or rush to call whine about being politically correct or dismiss you as hypersensitive are most likely white or people of color who are so far up the azzes of white folk that they pretend there's nothing wrong with this.
Is it racist to dress up as a cowboy too then?
@ShaeNielson That mediocre, basic, unintelligent logic didn't even present a legitimate correlation. FYI, white people aren't the only ones who are or have been cowboys.

Some people really need to check the revisioned history they were taught. It's a poor reflection of intellect.
It was just a fucking example, you're what's keeping racism alive.
@ShaeNielson No honey, that is not an example. That was you trying and failing to present an intelligent, solid reason to dismiss a legitimate issue.
How exactly is it that I'm what' skeeping racism alive? For not catering to the comfort of white people?
At least I don't have to live me life, being so overly sensitive and easily butthurt. You're getting outraged over a simple question, that's pretty low :)
@ShaeNielson Sweetie, I'm not being "overly sensitive and easily butthurt" simply for being able to EMPATHIZE and CONSIDER OTHER PEOPLE'S FEELINGS outside of my own self-absorption. The problem with you and various many other white people, according to this post, is that you fail to empathize and be sensitive towards other people. You utterly fail to understand where people are coming from because you are self-centered at a disgusting level where you make everything all about you, your thoughts, your feelings, and your interpretation. You have managed to make this entire discussion about you and your realm of understanding. There's nothing lower than that. ;) Get over yourself.
I'm not outraged at all, honey. That was you making an assumption after you sh*tted all over your intellect by trying to bring your adolescent, dramatic nonsense to my post.
In amercia you get freedom of expression if you don't like it then you can get out. focusing on macro problems are way more important than micro problems and this whole costume thing is not even a micro problem your the one so far up your ass you think you can just push your beliefs on everybody else and that's called fascism in a nut shell.
@blondfrog Shut your non-American ass up. You are not even in this fucking country. Who the hell are you to say "If you don't like it then get out" as someone who's not even in? I am so God damn sick of you inserting yourself in American issues as a foreigner who doesn't even live here. You pulled the same nosey, insensitive, unempathetic, self-centered sh*t on the eve of 9/11 trying to tell Americans how to think and feel about their local issues that don't even involve your ass.
I didn't attempt to push my beliefs on anyone: I EXPRESSED AN OPINION WHICH WAS ASKED OF ME. Unlike you running your whiny ass mouth expressing your worthless opinion on my post which I did not ask for. Don't tell me or any other American what the fuck to worry about, be passionate about, or be concerned about because it's none of your damn business. You don't get to proclaim what people on the other side of the planet are concerned about when it comes to a country that they exist in which you do not.
lol I live in America and I know way more about American history than you do. 9/11 was an actual prolem involving people's live's at stake unlike this whole you can't wear this "costume issue"
I can post where ever I want if you got a problem with that then block me so then I can have power over you blocking me would show how your feelings got so hurt and how I have control over your emotions. I went to school here and study in the scientific field which I would completely destroy you in.
@blondfrog You don't know what I know because you have never even asked me what I know. You are simply arrogantly assuming that you know more about American history than me. Regardless of where the fuck you're from: You have no legitimate place or right to be dictating what others should care about. It's none of your business of other people choose to be interested and passionate about a particular issue. We don't all have to go through you first in order to be approved to care about certain things or address occurrences that don't sit well with us.
LMFAO! Go fix your delusions in the privacy of a therapist's office before you start arrogantly running your mouth. You said the same lame, false, pathetic ish on my post when you were crying about a girl who blocked you 2 years ago. Claiming you have power over her emotions and acting like you can "destroy" someone with your keyboard. Get real lol!

Oddly enough, this isn't a consequence of deliberate racism... but of... globalism.
Globalism encourages world trade. World trade encourages outsourcing to other countries. Countries where locals just want to make a quick buck making your stuff for you and shipping it back.
Do you honestly think that the average Chinese factory worker gives two flying f*s about accuracy when making an "Indian" costume? It's not like they're disrespecting Chinese history. And if we don't complain to them, and keep buying the cheap crap because of the price, then they don't care if they get the bead arrangements all wrong.
If I want accuracy, I'll visit an actual reservation and ask for a tour. If I want to screw around, I'll go to the costume store, with cheap costumes made by lazy and apathetic designers.
Speaking of which, that's what's really at fault: laziness and apathy. Not racism.
Or we could embrace our cultural differences and just have a good time.
Would you rather force everyone to dress up like this?

Haha Community!!
+1 for the Greendale Human Being! The most PC mascot ever, lol.
Racism is not "a cultural difference." A cultural difference is you wear a head covering in your culture, and I don't. Racism isn't something to be celebrated. It would be intriguing however to embrace the morph suit. No one looks like anything in them. It's the ultimate anonymous and ambiguous costume.
Yes, it is the most perfectly ambiguous costume there is. That's the whole point of it, the entire episode was made to make fun of people who are easily offended.
This is what Halloween would become if we tried too hard to not offend anyone. Everything is offensive these days. Suck it up.
