Parents Are Divided on Whether It's Okay to Let Their Kids Dress as Moana for Halloween
“Moana is based on real history and a real group of people … if we are going to dress up a real person, we have to make sure we are doing it in a way that is respectful. Otherwise, it is like we are making fun of someone else’s culture,”
“I admire your perseverance in interacting with your daughter. I realize talking about race and culture is an ongoing deeply important conversation.”
“I think we have to look at history as the guide. In a country where people dressed in blackface and dressed as ‘Indians’ who were then shot by cowboys (a sterilized version of the genocide of the Native Americans), we continue with the trauma by dressing up as people of color. I think we have to be clear that this is the distinction: White people cannot dress up as people of color (whether they be real or imaginary) because it invokes the history of and current practice of racial oppression.”
What if your kid wants to dress up like moana because they like her. Would you find her a white character to dress up as

Halloween is a white holiday. Non-whites aren't allowed to practice it anymore.
>Not saying fuck all these assholes while dressing up your kids as Moana, an indian, and a SS guard.
Fuck I feel bad for the retarded adults who feel like they have to be at the mercy of some blue haired cat lady.

why do non-whites not get the fuck out of white countries? Stop speaking English? Stop wearing western clothes? Stop using electricty? Stop using the internet? Stop reading books? Stop watching tv? etc
Irish people do not exist, it is a conspiracy only promoted by the British Government.

I feel like someone needs to post that picture of all of the black actors playing white historic figures in ancient Europe (courtesy of some history / news / documentary station)

Anna, Elsa, Ariel, and Rapunzel are better for white girls anyway.

How about we stop trying to make present day people who have had nothing to do with those events, feel responsible or sorry for then happening? I'm so fucking tired of this manufactured outrage/injustice/racism these idiots keep spreading as true
