Students at Michigan State University are getting an education in how they can avoid offending people with culturally inappropriate Halloween costumes in whats becoming a new tradition that undermines the universitys own identity.
The unsolicited advice on what to wear on fright night appeared on message boards in campus residences this week to help students answer the question Is your Halloween costume racist? according to The Morning Watch, the schools conservative news site.
Whats become an annual reminder from MSUs Residence Education and Housing Services spells out the difference between cultural appropriation vs. appreciation. When students are selecting a Halloween costume, REHS wants them to ask themselves, do you belong to that group of people?

The headline is incorrect as Michigan State being a public university cannot ban costumes. I guess that means the university frowns upon students who want to dress up as Greek Hoplites just like Sparty.

In short concise, to the point words in English. No Freedom of Expression. You might offend someone. Michigan University is pruducing a LOT of snowflakes.

My mother, growing up in Nazi Germany, was told by her father:”Never say anything about anyone when you are in a public place.” So many similarities now, in the “Land of the Free”.

Where do you draw the line. At first glance, animal costumes might be okay, but what if it is a Koala Bear or a Panda?

do you belong to that group of people?Translation, if you're not white, you'd better realize your choices are limited.
For the co-eds, I'd suggest sexy nurse or maid.

That covers everything. This is just another way to criminalize anything a White says or does, or doesn’t say or doesn’t do.

“Are you Greek?”
Also, PS, ALL non-group usage is “appropriation” (as if that’s a bad thing), and NEVER appreciation.

It would be fun to see how the leftist administrators would deal with their own hypocrisy.

Which liberals applaud with raucous debaucherous enthusiasm.
Especially if one defecates openly in public.
