Halloween is just around the corner, so expect to start hearing sermons from members of the Woke Army about what you are and are not allowed to do. Seems a good moment to re-up this:https://twitter.com/HeatherEHeying/status/991718586325454848 …

But here we are talking about Halloween costumes not some underground cult. I think you are missing the most basic point: some of these costumes are genuinely offensive. There are far better arguments against political correctness. I find this one superficial.
-
'...some of these costumes are genuinely offensive.' (to approx 0.3% of the population; no-one else cares, and instead embrace the sharing of each other's cultures and indeed bond as a result, enjoying even stereotypical portrayals of their own culture, and just HAVING FUN)

OK. Personally, I prefer not to offend my neighbours no matter how small a minority. If it was something important, I might be convince.
-
I think what's most important to some is being the most 'woke' person in the room...David wins in this thread.
-
I am not "woke," whatever that means. I am simply considerate of my neighbours and fellow citizens. Personally, I don't think scoring points against PC culture is worth offending people in my neighbourhood.

You're overthinking it, sir.

No, I think Heather may be overthinking it. It is a simple matter of politeness.
-
You have a peculiar aggressiveness within your appeal to politeness that is a tad off-putting. Have you been told this before?

Hence the real alt-right and its resurgence

And wheee are the authoritarian tactics you refer to? Being criticized isn’t authoritarian, that’s free speech. Has a law been passed in the US banning blackface? (The answer is no)
