The offensive costume is a Halloween staple. Because some people, you just can't reach teach. Combine a need for attention with alcohol and some markers and duct tape and sometimes you get something great. Sometimes you get something else. But we do expect businesses to know better. Read on for this year's most bigoted, misogynistic, racist costumes. All available from legitimate retailers. Including Amazon.com.
Teen Asian Dragon Lady
The world of Suzie Wong includes registering as a sex offender, apparently.
"Fee Ling"
It's even cheap. Just like all Chinese stuff.
Barack Obama
While the above is the worst example, why would you even try to do this? Because you're racist, that's why.
Pumpkin Head Obama
Is this racist? Might be. Is it beyond stupid? You bet your ass it is. Would the only person to wear something like this probably be kinda' racist? No doubt.
The Vagina
"Way to go brah! Let me touch your clit! Oh, I can't find it! Get it? Ha ha. Gimme' another Bud Lite Lime." Hey women who sleep with these men human dildos, you're only encouraging them. (For shame, Amazon.)
Illegal Alien
Ha! Get it? It's a play on words, like going as delinquent beauty queen "Miss Behavin." Except racist. Target actually got into trouble for carrying this mask's full body counterpart. But this mask is so much worse; like a masterpiece from the Charlie Chan period.
Gay-Lien
Ha! So gay.

What's everyone going to be? I have no idea if I want to go slutty or not.
also i wish people would stop randomly using the word ~geisha when they clearly have no fucking idea what it means or what actual geisha and maiko wear!
UGH IKR. Geisha =/= Oiran TYVM.
I'm going to be Space (like the Final Frontier) - mostly because I already own a teeshirt w/ planets all over it, and tights w/ stars on them. And i'm cheap. Also I get to wear really cool make up and lots of glitter!
Slutty Snow White, yes. Slutty Native American... :\
CAPTAIN KIRK FROWNS ON YOUR SHENANIGANS.
I'm going to be Orly Taitz. And yes, I am preparing to explain who that is to every single person who speaks to me.
Don't forget to "OK OK" and "IF YOU LET ME FINISH" at every opportunity xD
Also, I'm going to be Elvis Costello, idc if no one is going to know who I am, I don't even have plans yet :(
(And OF COURSE someone else already had the same idea as I found out when googling "penis costume". See video at the source location above.)
I'd avoid those people, of course.
Instead, I will be acting on all Hallow's eve for a shiny trophy and the chance to do the play again for state.
Also, my god these are awful asffffssss.
I didn't know people dressed up as vulvas for Halloween.
And then I only get apples.
Halloween is the best.
I just don't... what is this shit? All these costumes are offensive, disgusting and just wrong. Why, unless you were a bigoted fuckbag, would you want to wear any of them? Seriously.
(Also, sort-of feminist rant: I'm a little tired of menstruation always being made fun of. Yes, women go through it, and it's a bodily function for us; but it's not made fun of on the same scale, or way, that say, taking a dump is.)
