Also, in preparation for Halloween:
Understanding Cultural Appropriation Halloween
Dressing up and celebrating Halloween provide opportunities for fun and community building, they can also create situations where students inadvertently dress in a way that can be hurtful to others. Make sure costumes you create do not portray a stereotyped image of a culture or group of people. In addition, costumes are not to be disrespectful of any racial, ethnic or religious group, any people with disabilities or illnesses, or any other group of people. Costumes should not become opportunities to turn a person’s identity into a stereotyped image. While you may choose to dress as a famous person or character whose identity is different than their own, do not darken skin or use makeup to change your skin tone to match that person, a practice with a long history of causing harm to the targeted groups.
Some examples of costumes that can be problematic include: Native American costumes involving headdresses or feathers, dressing as a homeless person, dressing as a person with any physical or mental disability, or dressing in any costume that portrays a narrow or negative stereotype about a specific ethnicity, religion or race.
