Because its disrespectful.

How's that disrespectful? Is a cowboy costume disrespectful?


Cowboy isn't a heritage or a culture.

co-signed. Because there's nothing at all racist about this: http://www.chasing-fireflies.com/mens-native-american-costume/productinfo/42068/ or this: http://www.chasing-fireflies.com/mens-indian-brave-costume/productinfo/32740/ or the fact that the costume you mentioned pops up when you seach "geisha": http://www.chasing-fireflies.com/red-kimono-princess-costume/productinfo/34987/ I'd avoid that catalog on principle...

You could dress up as any muthafuckin' mythical made up whatever you want, and you pick "caricature of another person's culture" for your kid's costume?

C'mon.

DH is Indian. I found 4 gorgeous Indian outfits today at goodwill. DH was extremely offended to find out they were among Halloween costumes. I was thrilled to find $200 outfits for $6.99 each LOL

Only if it's done as a joke... Would a Japanese kid dressed in a cowboy costume seem offensive to you? Same deal.

Er.......kimonos are Japanese, not Chinese.

We have outfits from all over the world, including kimonos. Of course it's okay.

It's insensitive if you do somehow make a joke out of it.
