Ohio University Protesting Halloween Costumes Mocking Foreign Cultures...Bunch of Nancy's

(CNN) -- Thinking about donning a kimono to dress like a geisha for Halloween, or a Mexican mariachi suit? Students from Ohio University have a message for you: "We're a culture, not a costume." With ethnic and racial stereotypes becoming increasingly popular Halloween costume themes, members of the school's Students Teaching About Racism in Society are launching a campaign to make revelers think twice before reducing a culture to a caricature, the group's president said.

Ohio University? Like the number one party school in the country? Wow, that ranking was horseshit, huh? Because I'm almost positive a big time party school would not have a problem with a kid dressing up as a cartoon like mexican wearing a drug rug and riding a mule. It's funny. It means no harm, it carries no previous racist undertones (where as black face does and I agree anyone who goes black face is kind of a dick), just an amusing stereotypical caricature. 

Go ahead, dress as a white trash person, dress as a doofus hipster, dress like George W. Bush, we couldn't care less, honestly.  Dress as a bucktooth hick from Maine with a fake shot gun and rack attached to a bicycle, carrying around a fake dead rabbit that you're presumably going to eat for dinner, and talking about bonking his cousin all night, I'll laugh my ass off. Seriously, I will. 

And what's with protesting dressing like a Geisha? Geisha's are basically wearing costumes themselves. Loads of powdery make up, that funny hair bun, an over the top kimono, they're playing dress up themselves!

It's Halloween guys, I find it hard to find the racist undertones to anyone wearing a costume in the theme of a foreign culture. Simple solution? Don't go to the Halloween party if you feel offended...If there are enough like minded people like you, the party will suck, it'll just be a Mexican and his Burro, a Geisha girl, Chief Wapanoo, and an Arab (ok, maybe the arab with the TNT is a bit over the line, but that's just one prick in the crowd, I'm sure he got over the line comments all night long)...Which makes a good lead for several jokes, but for a party sucks, I mean, how would they even communicate.
