Who the fuck said nothing is allowed? Seriously? Your reaction to "don't say or do racist stuff" is "so I can't do anything?" So basically what you're saying is that you're incapable of not being racist. Alright buddy.
@cipher42 So dressing as a Native American is racist, because it's not your culture, but celebrating a tradition that it's not from your culture is right? Anyone that celebrates Halloween and is not Celtic, is a racist. The hypocrisy...
Okay, I'm usually all on board for being empathetic and sensitive to other people's limits of what is okay and what isn't, but this article of yours seems a little wack. When I first saw that first picture a month or so ago, I seriously thought it was a joke. There are some very concrete and easily understandable examples of "not okay" here, but some others have me thinking that people are making political correctness into a game to see who can get the most offended.
I SAY that people should stop being so offended and just suck it up god dammit. Like I am Norse, and vikings don't wear horns on their helmets. Does it annoy me? Yes. Am I going to be offended by it? Hell no. Why is it that our culture is SO DAMN OFFENDED BY EVERYTHING? ESPECIALLY on Halloween?
Social justice warrior get over it quit trying to be pc there is nothing wrong with it its just a costume and for one day that's the whole point of america to express your freedom if you don't want it go to middle east or africa lets see you how you would like it seeing the women being oppressed there or other people? Women in other countries are getting their genitals chopped off, raped, kids are being forced to marry and this is what you spend your time doing complaining about this?

Man just get over it. I'm Mexican but I'm not crying every year during Cinco de Mayo when white and black people use that day as a reason to get shit faced nor do I care about none Mexicans wearing a sombrero during Halloween. It doesn't effect me personally so fuck it!
I don't have a problem even if it's racist and even if you say it insults my race. Just don't spoil the fun of Halloween. There are already enough worries and stresses in real life... and I hope we all need a break.
Those Indian and Asian costumes are not racist. It more so homage and respect. A majority of people who wear those particular costumes. Do not have the objective of disrespecting Asians or Native Americans. But the black face KKK, and green card get up was cleary intended as disrespect and mockery. This is very obvious so I don't believe you can compare them all as racist.
When I was little, my mom dressed me up as a geisha. I had fun, I looked pretty and it was a pretty cool costume. Neither me or my mom ever thought about it as a race/racist thing, we just had fun on Halloween. It's just a costume. Stop thinking everything is racist. Just chill.

Really? Left the door open to anonymous posts? Okay,
Some people are just too easily offended and overly sensitive:
(case and point) ... If white people made a song like that, people would be up in arms. But when black people make a song like that, it's "gansta rap."
Seriously. It's called the First Amendment. You don't like it, don't buy the costume.
here's how i see it and its partly because I take pleasure in going against what most people think.
Racism has a definition that is based on what people feel. Not the term deciding how people feel. If your feeling this stuff is projecting a negative emotion in you. Then thats it, its already wrong
People who complain and b*tch about being politically correct, which is really just having empathy and consideration towards the feelings of others, are most likely the same assholes who would like to be able to do or say whatever they please despite how racist, inappropriate, and offensive it is.
She doesn't have the mind of a child: you're just on the defense and attacking her for no legitimate reason.
Hmm it seems like to me you never had any fun as a child on Halloween. .. probably because of your parents being high strung. Halloween is one night people get to pretend to be some body or something! im a pinata this Halloween does that make me racist? Nooo
Vikings, cowboys, English monarchs, knights, druids, roman emperors, anyone wearing a toga ever. If you're going to have a problem with geisha then who should have a problem with any historical European costumes as well.
So any depiction of "culture" is off-limits? Isn't every costume representing someone's culture? You're right, I didn't need to think long and hard about this, because it's ridiculous.
Quit you're bitching, I'm going to a haloween party as a white man in blackface covered in white foundation wearing a native American chief costume and 4 in heels just because you're offended over stupid shit. Loser
This is the most laughable post I've read since I got back to G@G. Typical lefties that want to put an end to absolutely everything that is fun, all in the name of "equality" or "racism" or "sexism"...
and yet there it is... and yet year round every year there are college parties where people dress like black people and throw "ghetto" themed parties, many of which have in recent years been brought to the attention of college campuses about issues like this that deal with racism.

Why not just not celebrate it at all, if nothing's allowed?

everyone is so PC these days its impossible not to offend somebody.
People seriously need to chill the fuck out.
I am glad I didn't see too many detestable answers to this. Maybe most people aren't that bad with this PC stuff.
As for you, you're over the hill with the mind of a child. Pitiable.
People who complain and b*tch about being politically correct, which is really just having empathy and consideration towards the feelings of others, are most likely the same assholes who would like to be able to do or say whatever they please despite how racist, inappropriate, and offensive it is.

I don't see how D-Wade dressing up as a famous white singer is being racist. He probably really admires the guy and loves his music.
Haha it was pretty racist. Kid looked like a reverse Al Jolsen.
I dug it tho. Not even butthurt.

Hahahaha yet no fuck will be given if someone comes in as a Roman or a Viking.
I will wear the costume I want.

What The fuck? No one does the last one.
This is so unimportant
You're the best. Lmfao. Your comments are read, in my head, by Spongebob looking like that.
@fondue mwhaha my plan has worked then xD
and yet there it is... and yet year round every year there are college parties where people dress like black people and throw "ghetto" themed parties, many of which have in recent years been brought to the attention of college campuses about issues like this that deal with racism.
In the grand scheme of things its very insignificant. People don't do that on a large scale at all. Life is too short to care about dumb people.
