Good one guys.
Here's another one I found today. It's a college student in UCLA who dressed up in a Poncho, fake mustache, and a sombrero. A real Mexican stereotype. He went on campus and asked the non Mexican students if his Halloween costume was offensive. Most said "yes" that they were offended. The same person went and interviewed native Mexican's. None of them in the video were offended. They seemed to have a sense of humor and confidence in their culture. Also, I imagine the context of the person wearing the costume is paramount. I would only say that wearing a costume of another culture would possibly be offensive if the persona was demoralizing or demeaning the culture itself.

Here's the video.

From a sociological perspective, it is interesting to see this unfold.

It was funny and interesting at the same time, some people always are going to get offended and others are just going to be ok with that. But these days it seems that almost everything can hurt people's feelings and you probably can get sued xd unless you live in Canada. Canadians are the sweetest people on earth
