Well, my Libertarian self says people have a right to dress up like this regardless of my view or what the PC crowd thinks.
But my own opinion, which of course I have a right too, is that I wouldn't dress up in such a way as I feel it's in low taste, just as I think if someone dressed up like a cancer patient with an IV chemo drip in their arm and going out for Halloween is shall we say on the tasteless side. In my opinion of course.
But hey, this is america....we have the right to be tasteless, classy, stupid, smart, etc. and are free to define exactly what those terms are in our own mind. And equally, other people have their right to judge/form an opinion on said action.
I'm sure some Black kid will dress up as a white Terrorist. It's all in good fun and satire.
If it was a Saturday Night Live skit we'd call it Comedy.
.......... No.
I don't know why white people are obssessed with black people but I can assure you the opposite is not true. Black kids don't care about white people and won't find humor in painting their face white and dressing as a neo Nazi.
If you can find something like that on the net, do link me.

Some people are just crazy. Don't take it personally.

Yeah, I have never, nor will have any desire to dress up as a white guy.
Reminds me of what comedian Paul Mooney said a while back - (the edited version):
"The title is paraphrased from a comic bit from the legendary Paul Mooney. He actually said 'Everyone wants to be Black but, no one wants to be Black.' By that he meant that people from other cultures like to take bits and pieces from Black culture but don't want the experience of being part of that culture."

I find that hard to believe except for Black Music which has always attracted it's followers.
The Black culture the last 40 years in many aspects has deteriorated in the family, violence and education.
Very few want to follow that path or look at it as a positive.

....just couldn't resist the opportunity to talk about "black culture," huh?
Leave it for what it is... a terrible costume by two people with a foul sense of humor. Leave your bigotry at the door.
