You Should Really Stop Dressing Up As These Culturally Inappropriate Stereotypes

Oct 24, 2017   •   Desiree Pore

Halloween is the perfect time for you to dress up what you’ve always wanted to be. May it be your favorite Disney character or Superhero lodi, almost any costume is possible, except for when you decide to dress up as these extremely inappropriate “costumes”, then maybe you should sit out this year’s Halloween festivities and reevaluate your life choices.

 

The Terrorist Guy


Via Twitter

Who knows what an actual terrorist looks like? Terrorists come in different race and gender, so stop wearing ghutra and agal (a traditional Middle Eastern headdress).

 

The Native American Indian


Via The Costume Land

Sure, that headdress is IG worthy, but donning the traditional headpiece and dressing up as a Native American when you yourself aren’t one is seriously problematic.

 

The Geisha Girl


Via Halloween Costumes

Who didn’t love Memories of a Geisha? Sure, it was a good film, but don’t go dressing up as one, as geishas are often objectified and deemed submissive in western cultures.

 

The Blackface


Via E! Online

NOPE JUST NO.

 

Hitler/Nazis


Via Mashable

Who said that it’s a good idea to dress up as one of the vilest human beings on the planet? Oh, and there’s even an Anne Frank costume just because.

 

The Jamaican Dreadlocks


Via Costume Bliss

Things to consider before picking out this costume:

  1. Are you Jamaican?
  2. Are you black?

If your answer to both questions is no, then consider another outfit for Halloween.


Via Tenor

 

A Gypsy


Via Pinterest

The term “gypsy” is actually a derogatory slur for the Romani or Roma people, which are typically stereotyped as thieves, criminals, and low-class citizens. So no, don’t try dressing up as Esmeralda this year.

 

The Wall


Via Z1035

One word: WHY?

 

What other stereotypes should we avoid this Halloween? Comment them down below.
