[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with your friend. [b]Native American clothing is not a "costume."[/b] Sometimes it's entirely ok to tell kids no, and better yet, explain why.[/quote]

Why not?

Vikings are a costume. http://www.halloweencostumes.com/mens-adult-viking-costume.html

Germans are a costume. http://www.halloweencostumes.com/traditional-german-costume.html?utm_source=googleps&utm_medium=PPC&utm_campaign=PLA-All&gclid=CMOJq5vF77kCFdGd4Aodvi0Ahg

Geishas are a costume. http://www.halloweencostumes.com/child-asian-princess-costume.html

Irish are a costume. http://www.halloweencostumes.com/lil-leprechaun-costume.html

Scottish are a costume. http://www.halloweencostumes.com/sexy-scottish-costume.html

Italians are a costume. http://www.halloweencostumes.com/guido-costume-kit.html

Indians are a costume. http://www.halloweencostumes.com/womens-bollywood-beauty-costume.html

Why can't American Indians (please -- don't use that offensive term "Native Americans" -- I was born here. I am a Native American. That is an offensive and outdated term, sort of like calling a black person a negro) be a costume? What's offensive about this? Why is this offensive when the other examples are not? [/quote]

[b]Personally I find all of the above equally offensive and inappropriate for dressing up as a "costume[/b]." [/quote]

German Irish Japanese person here.

You are waaaay too uptight and sensitive.  If you are offended by these costumes, please  be grateful you don't have any real problems in your life.[/quote]
