damn. didn't notice that post. This is just.... beautifull...Goremocker said:I agree with these kids! Proud races are mocked every year by this.. "Halloween"
I feel that this "Halloween" MUST. BE. ASSIMILATED!!
Actually this is the main reason that I would say that that costume is in bad taste. If they were to just wear the outfit and say that they were an arab or an oil baron or something, then yes, that is a little racist but quite funny. and people get on with it.Father Time said:Seriously. Suicide Bomber protestor guy does not get to complain.EHKOS said:Yeah, we know most middle eastern people aren't suicide bombers. Which is why we don't dress up as them. We dress up as SUICIDE BOMBERS. It doesn't matter what your skin color is, as long as you're wearing dynamite.
It's not like suicide bomber is something bigots made up to make Mulsims or Arabs look bad, they are a real thing in the world that really do kill people.
And dressing up as one is not implying that all Arabs or all Muslims act like that. Unless you start saying that your costume is "A Muslim".
Borg assimilate things. Daleks exterminate things. Not the same.Goremocker said:I agree with these kids! Proud races are mocked every year by this.. "Halloween"

I would actually like that kid to be dumbed into Africa and see if he can get anyone care about his problem.Romblen said:First World Problems, when your biggest complaint is related to Halloween costumes.
Holy crap Kudos to you for going as viet cong!999realthings said:http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2053134/Students-launch-poster-campaign-racist-Halloween-costumes.html
I gotta this have to one of the most pointless and trying to hard to be politically correct things I have seen in a while.
While the Arab suicide bomber costume is offensive and probably shouldn't be worn, everything else is quite tame. The geisha outfit, the Mexican outfit and maybe the ghetto outfit.
Personally, I'm Asian and I went to Halloween as a Viet Cong. So people need to get over and have laugh in life or am I being to racially insentive
CURSES! You saw through my clever ruse... Guess I don't care about those kids after all...thaluikhain said:Borg assimilate things. Daleks exterminate things. Not the same.Goremocker said:*snip*

I wonder why no Indians ever call racism on anything be it costumes, sports teams or even tv stereotypes.chiggerwood said:This is stupidity on the grandest of scales. If you're that offended by a Halloween costume, please get your head out of your ass.
I have no idea why this got me so worked up.
