Below is a helpful flowchart to help you decide.


P.S. If you're "sexy" anything you're a misogynist.

I want to go as a Chris Brown and my girlfriend as Rihanna with bruises, I think both of us can pull off the blackface and it will be offensive to black people and feminists!!!

Chris Brown dressed up like someone in the Taliban last year didn't he? Racist!

I'm going as Richie Incognito, so I guess I'm in the clear since I'm not depicting another race, just a known racist?

What about the "Illegal alien" costume where the face is an alien from something like a Star Wars movie?

Isn't everything racist?

I just assume everything I do is offensive to someone. It's the easiest way.

I'm going as TAMU's poultry science former student Von Miller:

My tattoo guy dressed as Sadam Hussein last year with bombs strapped to his chest seemed a bit racist

This was at the Spirit Store last year. Not quite racist, but I never thought of Hitler as a priest before.


If I can find the Dollar Store one from last year, I'll post it. It fits the bill perfectly. It was dubbed something like 'funny face disguise' but it was straight up WW2 propaganda 'ching chong chinaman'. Glasses, buck teeth, moustache...the illustration on the package even had the conical straw hat on and everything. It was amazing. :laugh:
