People are so damn soft these days. The only one thats somewhat offensive is the blackface one just cause of the history behind it

Basically. The fact that you see a geisha or a hispanic on a donkey and assume that person is stereotyping your whole race is foolish. So if some one dresses as a cowboy he stereotyping white people? Kids can no longer dress as indians? Only real racist one was the terrorist, cause that's clearly racist intention. But the black face although due to it's history is offensive it's halloween. Big difference in being a gang banger for halloween and throwing on black face then legitimately disguising yourself as lil wayne or t pain or whoever. Like come on son yall dudes take $@!! to the extreme and yeah that goes for you methOriginally Posted by frostythepoptart
it is what it is. finding offense to these costumes is soft nonsense. it is all in good fun. a geisha is offensive? a geisha? seriously. a Hispanic on a donkey... the only racist costume was the terrorist.
blackface steps on toes due to historical context, and is definitely in bad taste but at the end of the day they were lil wayne
I also don't see how links posted with people at events intent on making stereotypes and being racist related at all to a halloween party where people are dressed up out of character and having fun.

"Dressing up out of character and having fun" was the premise of every one of the links I posted. They just so happen to contain examples that most sensible human beings would consider outrageous. (A "ghetto" party during Black History Month, a government immigration official winning a Halloween party costume contest for showing up in blackface and dressed as a prisoner, and a pair of guys in Canada rolling to a costume party in a Klansmen's robe and blackface.)I also don't see how links posted with people at events intent on making stereotypes and being racist related at all to a halloween party where people are dressed up out of character and having fun.
QFT. I honestly feel like a lot of you have been raised by minority hating wolves.Originally Posted by Method Man
This is ignorant as hell.
It's kind of sad that, in 2011, kids find racism hilarious because it's "forbidden fruit." I'd like to think that those with even the most basic understanding of the historical - or even the present day - ramifications of such stereotypes would have the good sense/common decency to do better than this.
All of you calling people "soft" for objecting to this have no idea what "soft" means. "Soft" is bending your back and allowing others to step on you. "Soft" is looking the other way at wrongdoing rather than putting yourself on the line in defense of yourself and others. "Soft" is demonstrating a lack of self-respect to be "liked." "Soft" is rolling over. "Soft" is going with the flow because you're too weak or too lazy to go against the current.
For anyone who would even dream about telling me to "grow a pair" for being indignant about blackface/racist Halloween costumes, I would suggest that you grow a spine first.

Are you really suprised that dressing up in black face might offend some people?
