I think we often think it's funny when a woman dress as a man or a man dress as a woman. No offense taken at all.
Yet somehow, there is so much outrage if someone dresses as an ethnicity that is not their own.
I was just thinking what's kinda funny is my company annual dinner actually has the theme of dressing up as other ethnicity and wear their traditional costumes.
It's all in good fun. And many men came dressed as not only a woman, but a woman of a different ethnicity.
In the US, we'd probably all get in trouble for it!
Just was reading about the outrage of this costume causing the poor woman to apologise for her insensitivity. I feel like people shouldn't get upset about this. This doesn't look one bit racist to me.
It's a bunch of unmitigated horseshit. A totem pole of victim-hood erected by the thought police of the Left.
You can mock Christians, but you can't mock Islam (not to mention, they'll try and kill you for it).
You can mock white men, but you can't mock the disabled, the Arabs, women, African Americans, Native Americans or gay turtles.
You can hate white men and Israelis, but you can't hate anyone else.
Native Americans were treated abominably by their government, but wearing their fucking headdress isn't going to do diddly squat to them.
Oh. Someone might be offended? Cry me a fucking river. Only certain groups of people are allowed to take offense, so while you're spouting that line of bigotry, I have no problem with mocking every single one of your sacred fucking cows. (Take that, Hindus!)
