If you Do Not want to Get Killed, Move on. Even a Sheet is KKK Today, bae. xx
Thanks, bae. xxoo
Another BS courtesy of SJWs. if that's the case, everyone needs to stop eating pizza and pasta. That's cultural appropriation of Italians. No more bomber jackets. That's cultural appropriation of military. Aviator glasses? Same thing.
And modem pizza! Italians have appropriate what Italian-Americans reinvented! Take back our pizza! 🍕
And so-called Chinese food (along with fortune cookies - a wholly Japanese-American invention) that has been appropriated worldwide now.
And American version gyros!
And brats, beer, and kraut!
And hotdogs, hamburgers, ice cream in cones, T-bone steaks, tomatoes, and tobacco... All intrinsically original North American originals...
Let's take them all back! 😋
Sir, you do need to make some research about all that.
@Shoenron I was clearly being facetious, though all my information is somewhat accurate. 😏
Personally, I find the idea of cultural appropriation kind of silly. Professional victims will call it out but most people just want to celebrate Halloween and dress up as Satan without offending Satanists.
I dont care about Halloween anyway, so people can dress as whatever.
I think that’s is for a case-by-case thing... I’m sad because I can’t go as Shuri for Halloween... it would be... ummm... potentially seen as... poor taste... (I’m white) but, I admire her so much!!! She is like the geekiest person but so strong and amazing and still feminine... I wish I could be like her!!! She is an inspiration to all girls!! But... I don’t want to offend anyone or make anyone feel like I’m picking on them because I went as her... you know?
If they don't want white people dressing up like their ancestors then they need to get off the internet, disconnect their electricity, destroy their cars, and give up all those other inventions the "white devil" made that those bellyachers are appropriating from us.
I wear t shirts, coats, neck ties or ribbons (for some occasions) and suits and those are originated in the west by white people. I don't see westerners say "Our culture is not your casual cloths" Why is it not ok to wear a Kimono, Dashiki, Charro or etc? As if we're being stereotypical if we do it. They even have modern twist of those costume which is basically like destroying their culture but guess what. Who gives a damn?
Forgot to mention pant's and shorts too
Nah I don't think so, in my country we only start do I g Halloween after I was doing it, we had "Bread by God" wich happen in the same day and where poor people asked for food, that why kids nowadays mostly still get plain cookies, nuts, oranges, apples, and stuff like that
I don't believe in cultural appropriation. That is something the SJW, snowflakes came up with in the last few years.
All of those costumes are completely fine. Wear them if you want. There is nothing wrong with wearing those.
I do think it is disrespectful because those costumes are stereotyped.
Purposefully leaving white cultures out of the list. Nice one. People whining about cultural appropriation always leave whites out of the conversation. Meanwhile people are still dressing up as Germans in Lederhosen and mocking Irish by dressing as Leprechauns. But those are fine right?
I mean, I get it, but I also don't think people need to take things so seriously. Halloween is just all fun and games. I personally don't see the point in dressing as a Native or a Mexican, but I wouldn't be horrendously offended.
I don't celebrate Halloween anymore. Its an insult to some cultures to even celebrate it.
Are you swrious?
Cultural appropriation is a bs concept that doesn't actually exist
To me, in Halloween people are supposed to wear a scary costume... no fairies and mexican people... unless they're like monsters to you, lol.
But then we also have the carnival around February where you can wear a regular costume.
What? All y'all SJW can suck my 8====3

Well my dad was a firefighter... So does that mean if I see a kid dressed as a fireman this Halloween I should kick the shit out of him for being a racist insensitive little fuck... Basically I think if you can't handle someone dressing like a Mexican or whatever maybe you should tell your people to stop dressing so funny. . I mean come on... a rug with a hole in it should be thrown out not put on your head and called a pancho
I once went to a fancy dress party as a nazi officer and won best costume.
Do I support the Nazis? FUCK NO!!
Did I think it would get me attention and people talking to me, HELL YEAH!
I think you're over thinking it mate. Every country and race have stereotypes. At least it reminds people them cultures do/did exist.
if you think that cultural appropriation is a thing then that means that ANYTHING needs to go back to it's original meaning, so Halloween is a medieval tradition where you wear scary costumes (not funny or slutty : looking at you Mean Girls) to scare off evil spirits that wander in the night.
No Candy, no silly costumes and only religious meanings...
so no i don't think cultural appropriation is a thing and fuck those who think it is
I'm wearing sluty costumes
Seem like a lot of grinches in here
