The forces of PC are always on the alert and, failing elsewise, simply metastasize into new areas of offense if the old areas fail to achieve conformity.
"A high school in Brampton, Ontario banned a student of Colombian descent from dressing up as a mariachi for Halloween, claiming it was ‘cultural appropriation.’
Joshua Sewerynek, a ninth-grade student at the St. Thomas Aquinas Secondary School, told MRCTV that he and his friends had planned to dress up as a mariachi band for Halloween. After submitting his costume to his school’s official Twitter account as per instructions, he informed that it was “too offensive.”
When Sewerynek informed the school of his hispanic heritage, he was told that “while you may not find it offensive, others may” and that “culture is not a costume.”

Sewerynek also posted about his experience on Reddit, where he mostly received support for his position. “PC Principal shuts down Halloween, sad day” said one Redditor, referencing South Park’s recent mockery of social justice warriors. A more critical commenter suggested that mariachi bands were Mexican, and that Sewerynek shouldn’t get a “free pass.” Sewerynek responded by arguing that Colombia has a long history of mariachi bands.
The idea that culture can be “appropriated” has become increasingly popular among social justice warriors and campus activists, and other “cultural appropriation” controversies have hit the headlines in recent months. This summer, SJW protesters staged sit-ins at a museum where visitors were allowed to wear the traditional Japanese Kimono, although they also faced a counter-protest by Japanese-Americans, who wore Kimonos and held signs welcoming others to share their culture."
