(Shaking my head) What's wrong with just letting little kids dress up as their favorites characters? "Cultural appropriation"? Please....

Feris writes that her 5-year-old daughter declared she wanted to be Polynesian Disney character Moana, which she worried would be “cultural appropriation.”

Fine. Just put a fake beard on her and she can go as Moanu.

Sheesh. Do I have to think of EVERYthing?

I demand any POC going on about “cultural appropriation” stop appropriating the fruits of my White, Western culture. To do this, they must give up electricity, the telephone, air conditioning, the crapper, the list goes on and on.

Using flush toilets is cultural appropriation (white culture)

Make the kid go as a vampire, ghoul, zombie, skeleton, Frankenstein’s monster or something. How is some princess scary?

“cultural appropriation”

Another Lib term invented to further their agenda and intimidate everyone else.

Such terms only work because WE allow them to work.

It is the same with ‘manspreading’ and every other term/phrase the Libs invent.

They classify everything from eating a taco to wearing a headband as “cultural appropriation” — as defined by THEM.

If Frederica Wilson can wear a cowboy hat, little girls can be whatever they want for Halloween.

Lady, if cultural appropriatin' ain't your bag, maybe you should consider not celebrating Halloween at all.

Unless you are a Satanist, a wiccan, or some other devotee of demonic practice(s), you are culturally appropriating the culture of evil.

Thank you, Ms. Feris for doing your part to set back race relationships. It’s really appreciated (extreme sarcasm)

This cannot be for real. How can these people get out of bed and dress themselves in the morning?

“In the end, Feris’s daughter decided to dress as Elsa — though Feris was concerned it might teach her short-haired brunette daughter that one must be white, blue-eyed and have long flaxen hair to be a “beautiful” princess.”

Wow. What a bigoted woman! She needs to look in a mirror to check her prejudices.

Moana costume? No, bad, "cultural appropriation" of a brown-skinned person and culture.
Princess costume? No, bad, "white privilege."

There isn't much left to choose from. A simple ghost costume from a sheet might work, but, on second thought it is insensitive to the dead, makes the living relatives of the dead sad, and, worst of all, is highly insensitive to moslem women.

Mom, play it safe and keep your kid locked in her room, lights out.

Imitation used to be the sincerest form of flattery. Of course the libs want to get rid of it: they do not have a single sincere bone in their bodies.

I think those wide set eyes indicate fetal alcohol syndrome.

“‘cultural appropriation’”

I thought liberals said not to stereotype or label, yet, that very phrase does exactly that.

When someone accuses you of “cultural appropriation” you should say “you’re welcome”

I’ll bet less than 1% of the population thinks like this, and they’re paid to write stupid articles about fake outrage.
