With Halloween nearly upon us, it's time again to talk about costume do's and don'ts. It is imperative that Americans heed the whims of the SJW community while celebrating this festive fall holiday or risk suffering the social embarrassment of committing a politically incorrect costume faux pas.Good Housekeeping compiled a list of fifteen problematic costumes that they say are not funny and you should never, ever wear.A few of the costumes on their list really are wildly inappropriate and not funny -- like the burning Twin Towers costume, the "Anne Frank" costume, "anything involving blackface," and of course anything depicting human genitalia. Also, dressing up as dead celebrity zombies is apparently a thing -- and that is gross and very wrong. (Remember when Bill Maher dressed up as Steve Irwin, complete with a bloody stingray barb hanging out of his chest for Halloween 2006, less than two months after Irwin's death? Yeah, that was truly depraved). I've not included these on the list because I know most of us would never consider wearing these truly offensive and obscene costumes.https://pjmedia.com/lifestyle/the-five-most-triggering-halloween-costumes-of-2018/
MSU FLOWCHART helps students decide if costumes are 'racist' A Michigan State University department debuted Halloween posters titled, “A Culture is not a Costume" and included a guide called, “Is Your Halloween Costume Racist?†MSU’s Residence Hospitality and Services department featured the signs, which included a heavily detailed “Cultural Appropriation vs Appreciation†section, as spotted by Campus Reform. “The cultural appropriation notion is problematic. In discussion with other peers, we found everyone has different definitions of cultural appropriation.†The boards are found throughout many of the university’s dorms. One poster brands the addition of a sombrero to a taco costume as “racist.†https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=11462
My son wanted to be a robot (again), which I'm sure is not allowed since he's a boy and the new thing now is that girls must be pushed into STEM stuff to the exclusion of boys.https://www.seminolebusiness.org/news/details/steam-pilot-program-kicks-off-at-the-library-with-stem-mentoring-for-girlsEtc.
Go for the robot. Don't ruin the boy with a tutu. As for getting rooked out of a STEM "girl thing," he'll learn more than a 10-week program just by hanging around his Mommy.
I was going to dress up as Megyn Kelly in blackface....
I wore the scariest costume I could come up with for Halloween............White Male! Of course there is one costume even scarier I sometimes go out in...........old man in a hat driving.
