For example, do you find it inherently wrong/racist to have say, a Mexican themed party with sombreros, tequila, putting on a fake mustache. Or other examples where a party could have a theme of some other cultures.

No, nothing wrong with it at all.

I think people need to get a life.

Nope. Another example of social justice warriors gone wrong.


We are a melting pot, NOT multi cultural. Its not just party themses or costumes or mascots, or movies or music. Its everything we contact on a daily basis.

No. I have always seen those things as tributes to/celebrations of other cultures. Not about to change that now.


If SJWs are saying that sort of thing is wrong, they are the ridiculous ones but then I guess their idea of fun is 'mocking' others and burning them in effigy, not celebrating them.

When people are ashamed of themselves, they assume that immitation is mockery and not flattery.

I dont think it should be an issue with anyone. Why would it offend me if you recognize & celebrate my Indian roots? I love the indian characters on tv shows & movies.

Sounds like a dumb theme for a party, one surely meant to provoke. Otherwise, I don't think it's inherently racist. I guess it would be like a toga party is to Roman culture.
