It’s (almost!) officially fall, which meansHalloween is right around the corner— and we couldn’t be more excited. It’s truly the most wonderful time of the year. Costumes, guilt-free candy, and parties — what could be better? Speaking of costumes, once upon a time, Halloween costumes were simple. Witches, nurses, zombie brides, vampires, and ghosts surfaced on All Hallow’s Eve as the most popular get-ups. But things have changed, and not in the best way.
These days, it seems many people have decided to use their costumes to make a bold statement. And unfortunately, more times than not, these statements are racist or anti-Semitic, like that time Julianne Hough went asOrange Is the New Black’s Crazy Eyes— blackface and all.
Fortunately, it’s still possible to find a great costume without offending anyone. Here are a couple you should definitely avoid this year — and every year.
1. Anything involving “black face” We’ve said this before and we’ll say it again: Blackface isneverokay. So stick to keeping your skin its actual color. It’s ridiculously easy to dress up as your favorite celebrity without making a fool of yourself and offending an entire group of people. Blackface is degrading, demeaning, and just plain racist.
2. Racist stereotypes Racist costumes don’t stop at blackface. We continue to see them year after year: the Native American costumes, the sexy Geishas, the drunk mariachi bands with giant, fake mustaches and ponchos — and they need to go away. We get that you might be trying to show your “appreciation” for other cultures, but what you’re doing instead is culturally appropriating — which is actually disrespectful because you continue to perpetuate tired racial stereotypes.

3. Transphobic costumes As it is, the LGBTQ community is already marginalized, especially the trans community. There are endless jokes being made at the expense of trans people, and your “hilarious tranny granny” costume isn’t making things better. Transgender is not a costume. Stop it.
4. Victims of abuse and their abusers We love couples costumes! Convincing your person to dress in matching outfits for Halloween might be the cutest thing, but you know when it isn’t cute? When you use Halloween to recreate someone’s most vulnerable and broken moment and turn it into a costume. Please don’t offend victims of abuse with your fake black eyes and busted lips; don’t attempt to downplay their pain by playing dress up.
5. Homeless people Homelessness is a serious issue all over the world; people are struggling to find food to eat and a warm place to rest their heads. You might think you’re being funny with your cardboard signs, but pretending to be homeless as a joke is incredibly insensitive.
6. A national tragedy Another note on couples costumes: Remember the couple that dressed up as the Twin Towers on a 9/11 anniversary? Yeah, you should avoid doing that.
7. Hitler/Nazis/KKK Have you even seen the news lately? Just don’t do it!
8. Anything that requires a fat suit Costumes thatrequire a fat suitto poke fun at someone’s body type aren’t funny, and are completely inappropriate.
Happy Halloween when it comes! Stay safe and be considerate when you’re picking out your swag.

So Sup Forums should dress up as a fat, black Waffen-SS member and get their significant other to go as a Jewess with a sign around her neck saying "I Did 9/11"?
Bonus points for telling people you're living in a shelter and doing it tough since the end of the war.

Blacks are afraid of Halloween. They load their kids up in vans and drive them to the suburbs with no costumes to harass the wealthier residents into giving them treats. The baby mommas hang back in the van, driving slowly as their chillins of 16-19 year olds terrorize the local Halloween events. We tell our neighbors our rooftop gargoyle comes to life at night; pretty funny to see their reactions (we are white, live in 'da hood.)
Logan Campbell
Bet she's Mexican or Indian, no Arab wants to be associated in public with that bullshit.

Jesus christ can these people fuck off already. What the fuck is it honestly going to take for them to stop being offended by everything. The only reason I hope for a happening or WW3 is to rid the country of these giant pussies who will die first.

So no one can get drunk either because your culturally appropriating and racially profiling Irish and Scottish People!
This halloween must not even be acknowledge because it is culturally appropriating Pagan beliefs.
no cavemen or flintstones costumes due to culturally appropriating our ancestors. no monster costumes either because of body shaming...
no sexy school girl outfits because it sexualises children same for catwomen outfits - sexualising and encouraging animal abuse
what have we done?!?! When will this stop?? When can we have fun again?!?!

Caleb Morales
You know, that gives me an idea. I wonder if anyone will sell a costume with a Jew hat and the little curls in front of the ears this year.

They can dress up like this guy, aka Sneaker Thief. Whites can do it too, but they need to be in full blackface.
