One thing I love about fancy dress is the way you can dress up as a zombie, without anyone thinking you support the eating of human brains, but if you dress up as a Nazi or member of the Klan then people will assume you support the actions of said groups.
Not sure about the blackface thing, but I am sure that some people would be offended by it.

i started to try to imagine some scenario where there's a stigma attached to dressing up like zombies because of lingering memories of a zombie epidemic a couple generations ago in which millions died and then i was like oh fuck i'm writing a george romero movie aren't i

How come the department store Santas are never black?
― prayer of st francis (u s steel), Friday, 24 December 2010 12:48 (fifteen years ago)
Some of my best department stores' santas are black!
― Kerm, Friday, 24 December 2010 12:54 (fifteen years ago)
I've seen a Mexican department store Santa but never a black one. The reasoning is usually that the north pole doesn't have black people. Why should a black child sit on an old white man's lap?

iirc Der Spiegel posted that as their daily photo the same day you posted your comment. So the "danke" goes to them.

not having white skin and wearing white masks in general is a scary look that I'm down w/ on halloween, I think it the only fashion that I have rocked on purpose
― puff puff post (uh oh I'm having a fantasy), Tuesday, 25 October 2011 19:01 (fourteen years ago)
That is an exceptionally creepy picture.

real talk, if you were at a halloween party and someone showed up in blackface what would you do? stay at the party awkwardly and nervously? say something to the person? say something to the host? just up and leave?
― J0rdan S., Monday, 31 October 2011 04:55 (fourteen years ago)
i would talk to them. what do you do if you find out via facebook pics that someone you've been friends with for years did blackface for halloween.
― witchho (zachlyon), Monday, 31 October 2011 05:03 (fourteen years ago)
what is it w/ some people that wanna go out of their way to offend other races as if its a birthright...
like i love those ads, and yet there's a whole heap of people (and I'm not talking Yahoo Comments, Facebook, I mean peers of mine) goin "AHH MAN THEY TOO SENSITIVE". like yea I know people are stupid but why do some people seem to not be happy unless they've pissed off every group they don't belong to?
― Neanderthal, Monday, 31 October 2011 05:17 (fourteen years ago)
a good portion of people just have no concept of the history of blackface and why it's even offensive in the first place
― J0rdan S., Monday, 31 October 2011 05:22 (fourteen years ago)
the reactions you describe comes less from "hey man, it's 2011! post-racial!" or whatever and more from just straight up, dictionary definition ignorance
