I am totally in support of this campaign. In response to these unsavory costumes, Ohio University student group, STARS (Students Teaching Against Racism in Society) recently put together a Halloween poster campaign with the tagline, “We’re a Culture, Not a Costume.” The five posters feature individuals of different races and ethnicities holding up signs that depict people dressing up as racial and ethnic stereotypes - an Asian/American student holds a picture of a woman in yellow face wearing a kimono, white face paint and black wig a Native American student holds an image of a man with face paint, a feather on his head and a sign that reads “Me wantum piece … not war.” Above the image is the sentence, “This is not who I am, and this is not okay.” Within the Halloween sea of sexy, you’ll spot the occasional person dressing up in yellowface, blackface and other “faces” associated with various races and ethnicities, from the “geisha” and the “illegal immigrant” to the “terrorist” and other stereotypical caricatures of race and ethnicity. The kind that makes you want to avert your eyes and feel empathetic embarrassment for the dressee. Most of us have spotted it on Halloween night: the Racially Insensitive Costume.
