No it is international girl day. We are supposed to be standing with girls on facebook and this will somehow help them get education and health care around the world. And make adult males look creepy.

Do we have to shave our heads?

Yes. If you shave your head five girls get healthy food, health care, and education for life.

Ed Anger will be posing with girls from the Hustler Club.  They're working their way through college.

I don't think so, and besides it was posted by a Yank expat, in jest, though the original post wasn't IIRC.

So the joke is that people are silly to suggest that you don't dress up as caricatures of Native people?

Speaking of which, is it ok if I dress up as a caricature of a viking?

Is it okay if you dress up in authentic first nations regalia?

I'm not sure the authenticity of the outfit makes a halloween costume less of a caricature.

[CountDeMoney]

Dreasing up as an Indian/Native American for Halloween is impractical, as it is just too damned cold.

caricature: a picture, description, etc., ludicrously exaggerating the peculiarities or defects of persons or things

So if you don't exaggerate the peculiarities - if your feather headdress is appropriately sized for example - is it okay to dress up as a aboriginal person?

That's the question for Duque, isn't it?

Anyway you should be dressing up as a monster that terrifies the locals. Like Bill Belichick or a police officer or something.

To be honest, I am not sure it will be enough for the PC crowd.

Even if you get it all right, the fallback gripe is cultural appropriation.  So no, not okay.
