You do realize that people should be able to dress however they want and then society can judge them. Accusing people of bigotry before they even wear a costume: that’s a thought crime. What if someone dresses like Sancho Panza, who to the layperson looks like the stereotypical Mexican? What about when people mimic European or American cultures? I see no outrage there!

I find my greatest offense with your article when you insinuate that Sikhs look close enough to belly dancers. Not even a British imperialist would make such a heavy-handed generalization.

You insult the entire university community when you assume that cultural appropriation is the sole goal of students who just came here to get ahead in life. Halloween should be a break, not some legalistic lesson handed down by those who see themselves superior when they make one of the most offensive generalizations I’ve ever seen
