Crying about the cultural appropriation of a Halloween costume is a fools hobby, find something productive to do.

May anyone who believes in such never breed less they infect the world with more of their stupidity.

unlikely. today's society is more about being offended on behalf of people who didn't ask to be defended

I was talking to my lady in Mexico and told her I saw some news story where people said only Mexicans can do day of the dead face paint. And then she sucked her teeth and said why white people always offended for everyone?

Wonder bread and ketchup are two of our greatest contributions to society.

This is one of those things that should make more and more people understand that Twitter outrage culture doesn't reflect wider society, is ultimately damaging to society, and should be ignored or ridiculed out of existence.

I think the stronger example came years ago though when Twitter lost their collective shit over a young girl wanting to dress up as Moana because she was too 'white'. Instead of recognizing that a child had taken an interest in something other than 'blonde princess', which should be encouraged and serves to generate empathy between people, they attacked a kid for 'cultural appropriation'.

So much this. I'm not trans, but I am gay, and I will be the first to roll my eyes at how much today's social justice warriorism has spun out of control. Frankly, I have never felt the need to be "represented" in every movie, show, or game, and pity those who feel like they need to let their sexuality define them or shoehorn it into every situation. There are so many things about me that are more interesting than who I sleep with.

So, um, how long before mummy costumes are forbidden? Not only are you pretending to be Egyptian, you're also exploiting how an ancient culture buried their honored dead.

In all seriousness, dressing up like Cleopatra should be fair game. It has nothing to do with Egyptian culture. It's dressing up as a historical celebrity. She didn't use makeup to darken her skin. Hairstyle and clothing are fair game.
