That's because white dresses are racist...

LMAO....that's what I wanna know. If he's such a proud southerner, why wear a Rebel uniform around the neighborhood while trick or treating?

Because it offends people.

You're black. Wear a KKK or Confederate uniform. It will tick off folks.

What I see on Halloween is a bunch of females who dress as "sexy kittens" or "sexy nurse" or "sexy blah blah blah". I never understood that.

I don't question it. I just enjoy the show.

But that poster said that he lives in an area where confederate flags fly everywhere...inferring that this wouldn't be a big deal. So who is he offending?

Think he's gonna head to a black neighborhood? Not that it matters. Drunk revelers hardly give a damn what anyone is wearing on Halloween.

It's no big deal. I'm of mostly Scottish ancestry, but some Chinese guy dressing up in a kilt, isn't a matter of concern

I personally like the costumes that took some actual thought & creativity. Especially when it takes you a moment to realize what or who they're dressing up as. There was a girl dressed up as the princess on The Neverending Story. Pretty simple costume but she was so happy when I went up to her & said "Good costume". Apparently, no one seemed to have a clue who she was.

Aliens from outer space costumes are out! You can only dress up like someone from the human race.

Forgive me my ignorance, but is the kilt related to some historic oppression impacting Americans? Are there people who may have a visceral response to seeing someone wear a kilt?

I'm thinking if there is, it's not the same as wearing a rebel uniform in a racially mixed neighborhood, or wearing a Nazi uniform in Skokie.
