I expect to see everyone wearing viking costumes, or I'm gonna be offended that they don't respect my old ancestors.

Or the home of the overly dramatic and hyperbolic...

Leave it to this forum to completely miss the point.

lol at butthurt people
Some people get butthurt over ANYTHING

[Rennadrel]

Then you are a racist.

I am sorry, but there is nothing racist about dressing up in a costume one day a year. I swear people clench their anuses and get butt hurt over the most retarded shit ever. I don't see how dressing up like a cowboy is racist, considering that is as much a fashion style as it is a lifestyle since there is still.l a strong country life presence in North America. People trying to be PC just because they have nothing better to do. I wonder what these folks would say if people came to their doors on Halloween dressed up like something really racist like Hitler or someone dressed up like a KKK member.

People really need to get over this whole, "Everything is discrimination against minorities guys D:!!!!!1111" bullshit. I'm part latino yet I don't bitch and moan when somebody wears an oversized sombrero.

I am dressing for Halloween as a Waffen SS officer. Gonna report here how it went.

Their campaign's slogan: "We're a culture, not a costume."

*were

They were a culture. Couple of old school guys pulling their shamanistic stuff does not mean their culture is still alive, and most of the new Indians are assimilated in the american culture. And yet the so cold Indians have bunch of casinos and enjoy the fruits of the evil western world that beated them. They should just drop the "we are a culture" stuff.

It was utter shock for me when I arrived in Japan only to realise the people weren't actually animated.

Thanks for ruining Japan, asshole

how are cowboys offensive

Cowboys are cool, not everybody can be as cool as a real cowboy. And we must not ashamed the poor little guy that can't be as awesome as a real cowboy.

You can't see how it would be offensive to black people to dress up like a "black person" and behave like a foolish thug and say "this is my black costume" this isn't a fucking minstel show.

Goodbye every female costume ever.

I don't see why cowboys are considered offensive though.

cowboys are one thing, dressing up like a mexican in a super stereotypical way can be offensive to mexicans.

[Kraenen]

it was a racist and imperialist tradition. get over it.

[Themius]

Good thing I only said cowboys, which were specifically mentioned in the article separate from the stereotype of the Mexican guy with a sombrero.

Well in the news story that ran they were speaking of they didn't show just a cowboy.

I don't see how the typical cowboy costume is offensive they're not typically as offensive as the racial/cultural ones. geisha for instant I don't see as being offensive, unless they behave offensively.

Most of them are not offensive as long as person doesn't act like a douchbag and doesn't portrait some race/culture in a bad way.

People in the thread:
"Why I everyone picking on us? We want to dress up in an ethnic theme, but for some reason people say we can't? Why? WHY?? WHY???"

Me:
Because you don't condemn fools like this...

Its too bad I'm not attending that University
Id get a few of my friends to dress up like kkk wizards and behind us a black kid following with the chicken/watermellon basketball .gif like shouting "Dat's Racis"

I mean if they gonna be stupid why cant I? XD

...who always come out of the woodwork, succeed in completely missing the point, and ruin it for the rest of you by being "edgy"/taking things too far. So until you learn to police your own (as you like to dictate that others should do) the "PC crowd" will keep making things more and more uncomfortable for you. Aw man. I can just hear the apologists typing their excuses for his behavior, now.

"Oh, he's just joking."

"Get thicker skin!"

"Well...well...I'm not going to condemn him; so here's a distraction via me bringing up a similar scenario that someone else did!"
