Political correctness run amok
https://www.haaretz.com/us-news/megyn-ke...-1.6592060

"...You may have heard that yesterday we had a discussion here about political correctness and Halloween costumes, and that conversation turned to whether it is ever okay for a person of one race to dress up as another — a black person making their face lighter or a white person making theirs darker… I defended the idea.”..."

I actually saw a piece of that segment. Shows how easily people are offended. What I took out of it was she said it was considered ok when she was a kid. Then the conversation shifted to it not being ok now. But the whole segement was on the absurdity of it now. Cowboy costumes are ruled out as are a whole host of other things. She was being anti-political correctness.

One thing they talked about was Anne Frank was considered an unacceptable costume (who would even think of that?!). So were Nazis. I would think Nazis would fit right in with scary Halloween.
