<Title>Crass Costumes?</Title>

    <p>Halloween at one point and time was very simple. People dress up as witches, superheroes and etc.</p>
    <p>But lately there has been a growing trend in <a href="http://www.ohio.edu/orgs/stars/Home.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">ethnic costumes</a> that rely on racial stereotyping in implicit and explicit ways.</p>
    <p>For years now, groups have rallied against these costumes due the insensitivity to ethnic cultures.</p>
    <p>The controversy is not limited to the US.  In 2005, Britain’s Prince Harry <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/europe/01/12/harry.nazi/index.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">dressed up as a Nazi</a> creating a firestorm of criticism.</p>
    <p>Opponents of this issue say that Halloween is a time for fun and suggest these costumes do not perpetuate racism.</p>
    <p>But to many others the spectre of partygoers in blackface, or dressed as in ninja costumes, or in a cheap sombrero, not only misrepresent ethnic enclaves, but perpetuate unflattering stereotypes.</p>
    <p>Halloween may be a holiday to some but it is not a holiday from America’s racial reality. </p>
    <p>With all the great costumes available, people should have no problem finding great alternatives to the ethnically-charged garb. </p>
    <p>What are your thoughts? What’s your costume this year?</p>
