    Halloween originated in the medieval Gaelic festival of Samhain, so by this logic nobody should celebrate it unless they have Scots/Irish/English ancestry? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween#History …https://twitter.com/KirstenPowers/status/1054824232444743681 …

    Dear white people who are upset that you can't dress up as another race or culture for Halloween: your feelings don't matter. The only feelings that matter are of those who feel disrespected/mocked by you appropriating their culture for entertainment. Show some common decency.

        By the way anyone not Egyptian just stop using paper. If you're not Arabic stop using numbers 1-9. If you're not Incan put down the mother-effing potatoes. Sarcasm, obviously. Bottom line: adopting the best parts of other cultures makes us all better. #culturalappropriation

        No? How about perpendicular ones? Forget cultural appropriation anyway. How about it's all cultural diffusion?

        The feminists are fucking OBSESSED with this today. Megyn Kelly said something bad apparently and they are all going apeshit because this kind of trivial busybody bullshit is their jam. They aren't smart enough to care about policy and they want our politics to be middle school.

        False equivalency. Are Scots/Irish/English offended by everyone’s celebration of Halloween? And how is this related to those celebrating said holiday by caricaturing others to their dismay? Come one. You’re a smarter than this.

        The only false equivalency is determining the merits of those being offended on whether one is offended or not...

        Which curiously means what we now can November. it predates medieval period. Pre-Christian. One of four cross fire festivals. Also important to point out the English (Germanic) has no cultural or linguistic roots to Gaelic/Gaelic or Welsh (Insular Celtic.)
