Halloween is the perfect holiday for using imagination with your kids and really letting them be what they want. Though that will always be the case, it’s also true that a lot of parents, and adults in general, don’t consider the broader message that their costume might be sending. Now, one mom’s viral post about opening a dialogue with her kids about culturally insensitive Halloween costumes is a viral mist read for parents.
all costumes are racist/sexist or cultural appropriations.
it's about people dressing up to look different for fun and laughs.
white guys dress like Tiger Woods.
black girls go for Taylor Swift.
lesbians look like the Harlem Globetrotters.
gays go full-on Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
I find it culturally insensitive when non-white people use:
The internal combustion engine
Airplanes
Rockets
Televisions
Republican Government
Quantum physics
Nuclear power
Penicillin
I will expect all social justice warriors to chime in with their support of non-whites divesting themselves of these and other advancements.
If not, then they can shut the **** up with the racist, anti-white "cultural apropriation" gibberish. Anyone can do as, dress as, act as, or utilizatize what they will so long as they are not directly hurting anyone else.
This mother is abusing her children by teaching them a racist, anti-white double standard, and her children should be taken away, at least for a time.
The argument cultural appropriation is pathetic. Every culture, past and present and even future, are made in part by interacting with other cultures. Thus, "taking" or "borrowing" or "adapting" or "stealing" elements from that culture to another might be inevitable.
No such thing as a racist or inappropriate Halloween costume (unless it's somehow violating the law of course). It's Halloween and costumes are suppose to be inappropriate or offensive and is free speech.
We go through this every year with the SJWs when Halloween rolls around.
I hope they all get rocks like Charlie Brown when they go trick-or-treating.

Let her dress her kid up as a ghost but that would probably have some racist connotation buried within it..
