 I just want to say that I've been thinking more about this issue, and I have changed my opinion somewhat.In thinking about it more, I can see how more interpretations would be offensive than originally thought. While I could always see how the really "over the top" ones could be offensive, I'm now realizing how and why even a lot of more toned-down ones can be offensive. While I'm still not sure about 'cultural appropriation (as every culture has borrowed from another, and also as the world would be a boring place if every culture kept to itself and never shared/received anything from others), I can see more clearly now the impact that a costume can have, even if it's not meant to mock a culture.  So, just wanted to say that, and apologize if I was insensitive earlier.  IP: Logged  |

 I miss Frozen Queen   ------------------ We need to listen to our own song, and share it with others, but not force it on them. Our songs are different. They should be in harmony with each other. ~ Mattie Stepanek IP: Logged  |
