Halloween costumes judged culturally insensitive. Again.

If you're wondering what Franklin & Marshall is, i didn't read the story, but I think it's an incubator for hate or for ethnic agitation and student unrest -- just your typical American college in the business of indoctrination.


What I want to know is, what about all these Halloween costumes of dead people with all the blood and gory stuff, or the ghastly pale makeup to imitate corpses? Don't these insult people who have been murdered and isn't it all an affront to all the people that have died?

 

I'm pretty sure that there might be all of five nutjobs on twitter who care about such things. Everybody else couldn't care less.

 

Frivolous abridgement of rights for political correctness. What's not to care about?

 

You don't have the "right" for people to not get upset if you wear slightly racist costumes.

 

This has always been an issue. I remember in SECOND GRADE...in 1962...some kid had a really good Fidel Castro costume...and he got sent home

 

People are too sensitive. People are looking for something to offend them. Let a fool dress like a fool and just ignore them. Be thankful we are free and don't have to pass an "attaire commissar" before appearing in public.

 

Their costumes were caricatures -- toons intended as humor. Minority students and PCers jumped on it as an excuse to whine and cry, and now the institution will update its "diversity training and programming", whatever that means, because that **** ain't funny.

Someone gets to pay for that, and so I guess people do have a "'right' for people to not get upset if you wear slightly racist costumes" if they get mugged.

 

Definitely culturally insensitive

 

So is the blackface worn during minstrel shows. That doesn't mean it's not racist.

 

Why the hell is it racist to dress up to look like someone else? Even black face? Michael Jackson made himself look white, was he racist? When a black wears a blonde wig is that racist? When a white turns brown from a sun lamp is that racist? If my blonde wife gets a kinky perm and dies her hair black is she racist? What a bunch of hooey. People need to MYOB.

 

what about this business?

I think some go to far for sure

"Michigan business blasted for ‘classless’ Halloween display of Trump and Obama"

Used to be that you could not slander any group or class of people. It seems that now you cannot slander whites but you can slander blacks and other minorities.

This can't be sustained either legally or socially, only in the bizarre, unprecedented realm of high tech PC.

 

Yeah. There are costumes you shouldn't be allowed to wear culturally. Imagine a costume where it's someone stepping on the American flag. Pretty cheap to put together so market could deem that okay to wear. All you have to do is buy a flag and then throw it on the ground and step on it. The only optional bonus accessory I can think of is a lighter. Yet we can clearly see we shouldn't wear it. So the same thing here. Don't want to be culturally insensitive? Don't be that person.

 

Pretty sure you got that backward.

 

I suspect that what you don't think I said I actually said. Put another way, I meant that you could call them anything you wanted because it wasn't possible to slander them.

 

Still reads wrong..

I'm out of weed tho...

 

Just as there is no constitutional right to not be offended by the insensitivity of others. Nor is there a constitutional right for one to not have their feelings hurt through mockery.

 

Costumes aren't racist only racist people that think costumes represent a race are racist.

 

Still funny. The one for little girls has Joe Biden.

 

I there ANYTHING the left doesnt rant against, or get their underlovelies in a wad over?????

 

Something fun for next Halloween: Dress a bunch of first and second graders in back face and send them trick or treating in Watts.

 

LOL It's cool!

I'm a blithering idiot without my medicine!

 

A person has the right to be offended over anything that offends them, and they have the right to call someone racist over something they find racist. If someone wheres blackface as part of a halloween constume (and this is no different than wearing blackface IMO), and are surprised that someone thinks they are racist, that's just ignorance on their part.

 

Hmmm OK, so what you are saying is that it's not prejudice to wear a costume which is clearly intended to mock someone's culture and heritage. So, if someone decided to wear a custume which was clearly intended to mock homosexuals,you wouldn't take offense right?

And the costumes in question DO represent Mexican people because they are traditional Mexican apparel. And the main reason the customers were offense is because one of them was dressed as an ICE agent "arresting" the one dressed like a Mexican. (ironically it was a gay couple wearing the custume, which fits in with the first part of my post)
