Michigan State University bans ‘racially, culturally, or ethnically based’ costumes for Halloween
American Mirror ^ | October 10, 2019 | Victor Skinner

Students at Michigan State University are getting an education in how they can avoid offending people with culturally inappropriate Halloween costumes in what’s becoming a new tradition that undermines the university’s 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 school’s conservative news site.

What’s become an annual reminder from MSU’s 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?”

I didn’t even know until the end of that movie who played that character. I was completely surprised.

Waiting for them to punish someone for wearing a Kaiser helmet and fat gut. Germans are fair game (unless it’s NAZI, which will be seen only as “celebrating” NAZIs, not as horror).

Meanwhile try to dress up like Hirohito.

Animal costumes would infuriate the Furries culture.

Multiculturalism & diversity - more mighty than any army.

The US epitaph will read:

Here lies what used to be the strongest nation the world had ever known. Killed by a virus.

Can I go as a cowgirl? I know how to ride but don’t own a horse.

My politically correct ex-friends stopped speaking to me last Halloween when I wore my red cowgirl hat and long blond wig. They all thought it was a Trump hat.

“Animal costumes would infuriate the Furries culture.”

Beto would call for a ban on it. How would a furry dress for Halloween? Same as ever other day, I guess.

Remember when colleges were the bastions of free speech?

To be honest, no I don't. But I do remember when colleges at least pretended to be.

I think, were I faced with the charge, I would point out that if no one wants to appropriate it it isn’t culture at all, just a quirk.

The witches, goblins, and ghouls culture is pissed.

That was only until the Left was in charge. Political correctness is like creeping Sharia, like communism, only instead of a boot on the face of Man forever it’s a lunatic SJW screeching incoherently at the face of Man forever.

Black your face, wear a zoot suit jacket and a grass skirt, topped with a headdress. Slip on a garter belt and a pair of wooden shoes and carry a white cane, then walk around saying “Me so solly.”

That ought to offend enough snowflakes to thin the ranks.

Like these from Democrat Ralph Northam?

Or these from leftist actor Ted Danson?

Or like this photo from Liberal Party member Justin Trudeau?

Or Leftist comedienne Sarah Silverman?

Or Jimmy Kimmel?

I agree. No one should dress as offensively as a Democrat Leftist.

I would change that meme to:

“You went full Greta
Never go full Greta”
