Halloween is now a micro-aggression.
Via Mediaite:
Remember when you were a little kid…when picking a Halloween costume was fun… simple? You just wanted to be a cowboy, Indian (in the parlance of the time), fireman, princess, policeman, hobo (yup) Cinderella, Batman, Superman, or Wonder Woman.
The little girls and boys of years past have now grown up to be big boys and girls who go to college and still like to the dress up in the same simple, fun Halloween costumes — with a little grown up flair. But if you’re a female student at the The University of Massachusetts, Amherst who decides to dress up as a ‘sexy Pocahontas‘ for Halloween, you’ll likely be labeled a racist who is engaging in “hypersexualized racism.”
No, folks you can’t make up such nonsense. Now, celebrating Halloween is a microagression, and white women wearing Indian costumes are engaging in cultural appropriation.
