PC Halloween costume game

Halloween costumes is a great opportunity for colleges and other institutions to lecture people about avoiding anything that is offensive. My observation is that virtually any costume could be offensive to someone.

To demonstrate the concept of universal offensiveness, consider the old bed-sheet ghost costume:

Coolest, Weirdest, Most Awesome and Amazing Stuff

Coolest, Weirdest, most Awesome and Amazing Stuff from all over the world, in pictures or videos.

Here are examples of why it is offensive:

Some people are scared of ghosts; they could be triggered.
Some people have cultural or religious beliefs about ghosts; the costume may be offensive to these them.
The ghost costume may remind someone of KKK robes; don’t even go there . . .

Game rules: Please post examples of costumes and logic of how they are “offensive”. Since offense is in the eye of the offended, there are no wrong answers.

For background, here are some links on PC costumes:

University BANS 'acts of intolerance'

Furman University has an “Acts of Intolerance” policy, which could punish “theme parties” and “costumes” that “reinforce stereotypes.”

Last year, I kept telling the Democrat Politicians to take off their costumes.

They would look at me, and tell me that they’re not wearing one.

Democrat Politicians don’t have to wear masks to be scary. They’re just naturally ugly.

This one is banned from Amazon in the UK. I would imagine it would be the ultimate trigger costume.

Out of curiosity. Are there any costumes you think go to far?

That was years ago. It wasn’t banned. Amazon pulled it because of complaints. Free market.
