[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]she needs to be a specific historical person, not just an American Indian. [/quote] Yup. You can't be a race for Halloween. I'm going to go as a black person! No, but you CAN be Rosa Parks. Same thing as going as a "native american girl". But she can be Pocahontas. [/quote] +1 The problem isn't with dressing up across races. It's with dressing up [b]as[/b] another race/ethnicity. Of course, if you dressed up in baggy jeans and fake dreadlocks and then claimed to be Rosa Parks, that would also be problematic and that's basically what OP's daughter is proposing - to dress up as a stereotype and then just call herself a historical figure. I think OP guesses at this, which is why she's asking the question. A lot of folks wouldn't have even thought to ask. [/quote]
