[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've definitely had this conversation with my child and it's actually not THAT hard: I'd say this: "I know you want to dress up as a Native American but it's actually not kind to take another person's traditional dress and use it as a costume." Then I'd share an example to drive the point home, depending on the child and our culture. Like, "Would you like it if someone wore a kippah and tzitzit as a costume or would that make you feel like someone was kind of making fun of Jewish people?" [/quote] I would think it was cool that someone thought Jews were cool enough to dress up as one. Kids choose things they love to be for Halloween; they aren't making fun of anything.[/quote]
