University students in America have been told not to wear "offensive" halloween costumes including cowboys, indians and anything involving a sombrero.

Students at the University of Colorado Boulder have also been told to avoid "white trash" costumes and anything that portrays a particular culture as "over-sexualised" - which the university says includes dressing up as a geisha or a "squaw" (indigenous woman).

They are also asked not to host parties with offensive themes including those with “ghetto” or "hillbilly" themes or those associated with "crime or sex work."

Of course Marx looks like popcorn. Marxists are just full of hot air and pressurized anger along with jealousy.

I don’t think there is enough rope and lamp posts in the country to eliminate this plague.

Probably not; but fortunately, both are reusable.

Ok, that leaves Disney princesses, unless they’re too sexist, Imperial Storm Troopers, unless they’re too violent, or ... what?

I’d be tempted to go in blackface and say I was doing an Al Jolsen imitation as part of a great entertainers theme.
