Is this costume PC?

It seems Halloween costumes is the new troll topic.

Okay, so I hear what you're saying for adults. It would obviously be passe to wear blackface, but for my DD who is in elementary school and is Caucasian (non-Hispanic) can she wear a bronzer to look more exotic?

Really? This means "of foreign origin or character". Think about that for a minute.

No, it's the same for kids as adults. Trying to darken your skin is pretty much never a good idea. Makeup would be appropriate, since Cleopatra used cosmetics (intense green and blue eyeshadow, dark, heavy eyeliner, mascara, brow-darkener, and red lipstick and rouge. She also wore nail polish and hennaed designs on her hands. But bronzer to "look more exotic"? Nope.

No, it's not PC. I haven't read any of the comments but if you have to ask, it's probably not worth wearing. Choose something else.
