It still amazes me how people insist on pulling off the most offensive costumes. How can people wear these things and not feel a tinge of guilt? It's all sorts of incorrect and tasteless. You all may have heard of the disgusting "Illegal Alien" costume that Target was peddling. I was so apalled when I heard about it. It reminded me of the "Border Babe" costume I saw a couple of years ago.
Ridiculous! You might as well crop KKK regalia and dye it pink (to keep it "feminine" of course). After dealing with border patrol during my trip to Mexico, I hate this costume more than ever.
The same goes for people who dress up as Geishas, Pocahontas, Tiger Lily, Brown dudes in ponchos & sombreros, or anything else that represents an ethnic group.

I agree... it's disgusting.. but when I'm dressing up as a Oaxacan indigenous women, for the place I work at.... it's not because I'm making fun though.. I just love their wear, and I look too ethnic if I wear it everyday..... but I did see this costume, and just about shat my pants I was so appalled... the illegal alien one, and border patrol.
