University students in America have been told not to wear "offensive" halloween costumes including cowboys, indians and anything involving a sombrero.
Students at the University of Colorado Boulder have also been told to avoid "white trash" costumes and anything that portrays a particular culture as "over-sexualised" - which the university says includes dressing up as a geisha or a "squaw" (indigenous woman).
They are also asked not to host parties with offensive themes including those with ghetto or "hillbilly" themes or those associated with "crime or sex work."

“The whole point of Halloween as a college student is to have the most outrageous, tasteless and offensive cotume you can think of. And then get really drunk.”
That’s the “whole point” of Halloween?
Then it’s rather pointless, at best.

That is offensive to people that have a lot of moles on their skin
More preferable costumes for University life include:
A fun loving Marxist culture purifier
Karl Marx, the one and only
(Anyone wearing Marx Bros. costumes will be escorted out of campus and BTW only serious Karl Marx costumes that promote class struggles are allowed)
A Marxist Santa Clause
(Santa Clause costumes are allowed ONLY if you are portraying Barrack Obama, Bill Clinton, Ed Asner, or historical and current Marxist promoters wearing a Santa Clause costume)
