Racist Halloween Costumes

Party City and their Racist Costumes

Joy Henderson was a mother looking for some parts of her son's costume at Party City. She knew that there were stereotypical costumes of all cultures. An example of this is Japan and a costume she found called the "Rising Sun Princess". But she did not expect the amount she saw. She had also seen costumes of native's and aboriginals. Joy has a native background and was offended by the fact that they were selling "traditional" wear of the aboriginal's. She said that it was not something to be taken so lightly and that it was clearly racist. These people are real, they aren't just some costumes. People actually wear the attire, it should not be a costume for halloween.

I do agree with the argument, but I think its different for every culture. Things should be taken with a grain of salt. If the attire is related to religion or its special in a way, yes it should not be sold as if it were just another costume. But halloween is mostly for kids so I don't think something like legal action should be taken.
