When I saw this, all I could think was โFinally!โ Kudos to the Ohio University students for speaking out against this. Weโve documented the tendency of people to use natural hair in silly costumes; from the โGhetto Fabโ wig to afros being the costume of choice at a bike parade. Iโm not sure why thereโs such a desire to racialize Halloween costumes, but hereโs hoping the trend will end.
Check the gallery below for more photos from the Ohio University campaign. And click here for more details on the movement. Ladies, what do you think of the campaign?
I absolutely love the campaign.
Wonderful campaign!!!
This is an absolutely brilliant campaign and a great message. Kudos to Ohio University!
I love this campaign. Those โcostumesโ are ridiculous and I donโt see how anyone that isnโt drunk out of their mind would think thatโs an appropriate outfit.
Good! Itโs about time! Thank you for sharing this!

Yea!!! Itโs about time!! Glad my alma mauter is stepping up with this campagin.
I agree, love the campaign!! Have seen the pics all over facebook, but didnโt know it was done by students at my alma mater. OU represent!!
ErโฆI get the girl in the picture was trying to be Lilโ Wayne and therefore was going for a person specifically and maybe not the black cultureโฆbut that blackface makes me super uncomfortable.
Kudos, this needs to be addressed.
I was thinking she was lil wayne too. Sometimes I think people get too bent out of shape about stuff. No, thatโs not who she is or who we are โ but it is pretty close to who he is. If some black guy was lady Gaga it wouldnโt be anything but funny..
The funny thing is though, if a black person were to dress like Lady Gaga, the last thing theyโd think of doing is putting on make up to make their skin lighter.
You can dress like lil wayne without painting yourself in blackface. If Iโm cosplaying an anime character or a character who is not my exact race/skin colour, I donโt paint myself white.
I hope Iโm not misinterpreting your tone, it seems I wasnโt clear based on the response Iโm getting. I do not think she should have painted her skin, it was completely in bad taste. As I mentioned she made me uncomfortable. I think it might have even been funnier and had more of an ironic effect if she had left her skin alone save the tatoos. I was hinting that perhaps she was thinking โIโm going to be Lilโ Wayneโ more than โIโm going to be a random black person!โ Iโve seen the latter done to minstrel-like effect. I believe… Read more »
You people are jokes. Serious, jokes.
You are the people with problems, not some girl that decided to have a neat costume.
I ASSUME YOU ARE CANโT LOOK INTO THE PICTURE FAR ENOUGH TO REALIZE THAT, OH, THE WHITE MALE PAINTED HIMSELF WHITE. I SUPPOSE THAT IS RACIST, AS WELL?
All of you, grow up.
absolutely powerful. just powerful.
Iโd love to see the reactions of people who have worn these type of โcostumesโ after seeing these images. Bet any money some of them wouldnโt do it againโฆhopefully, lol.
Absolutely Awesome!!!
I think this is taken WAY too seriously. People put on costumes all the time. Most of the time itโs a form a flattery. Halloween gives people the occasion to be whoever they would like to be for one day, maybe someone they admire secretly, or think is fascinating. Is it really that bad? Sometime, itโs just a reflection of whatโs going on in our society. Maybe itโs a way to be able to start a conversation about it. Why does this always has to be received as in insult? Because some might make fun of them? Why so insecure? Itโs… Read more »
I was thinking the same thing. I am in no way offended at the white girl dressing like Lil Wayne. It does not define me in the least. Its never an issue when a black person dresses up to be white, but when its the other way around all hell breaks loose.
That movie wasโฆugh.โฆ I like them better when they looked like themselves on their tv show.
Iโm with you. I donโt see what the big deal is. This is the last thing black people need to focus on (yes, Iโm aware that blacks arenโt the only minorities in this PSA but Iโm speaking specifically to blacks regardless). Itโs Halloweenโwhy are we so sensitive? Are cops in uproar about costumes being worn in their likeness? What about entertainers? Are they putting up posters about outlandish costumes being worn in their honor or dishonor?
Like someone said about there being a difference with occupations, dressing up as a cop or doctor (though not scary) doesnโt seem as bad as โIโm going to be a Native American!โ or โIโm going to buy that Mexican costume.โ People being other ethnicities is weird.โฆ People just are MExican or black, itโs not anything extra. Iโm not explaining it well. I could go as a black woman for Halloween.
I see what you meanโฆthere is a difference, but is it a difference that should be taken as offensive? Iโve seen college educated black people make fun of ghetto blacks. Thatโs more offensive because theyโre not using their โhigherโ position to help them. The costumes are for fun and I do see that costumes are stereotypes, but some people fit stereotypes! Thatโs why theyโre funny. We talk about other races in a degrading manner many days of the year. Comedians poke fun at different cultures all the the time and there are no PSAs being funded. Itโs about having a… Read more »
I think the main problem is how people perceive these costumes for themselves. Which leads to senseless censuring and attack of self expression. Iโm pretty sure not ALL the โcollege educated black peopleโ who dress โghetto blackโ do this to make fun. And for those who do make fun, theyโre just stupid and ignorant despite their college degree. This is how I see this : Maybe they love the creativity and originality of their fashion sense because itโs not a blend boring way of dressing up, maybe itโs a way for them to stay grounded. I know for having gone… Read more »
โDonโt be offended, Iโm just honouring your beautiful cultureโ = NO. STOP RIGHT THERE. It doesnโt matter if you, a non-Native, think that youโre โhonouringโ Native culture by wearing a head dress or war bonnet. The fact of the matter is that there are hundreds of Native tribes that have items and languages specific to their tribes. Natives find it extremely offensive and racist when people dress up as generic First Nations people and have objected against these racis/problematic depictions for years. Not caring about how youโre offending them contributes to their subjugation and oppression within society. If someone asks… Read more »
Agreed!
Perfect response! Agree completely=)
SO WELL SAID. Bravo.
I see where you are coming from, but I looked at those costumes and they are offensive IMHO. The only one that could truly be considered based off an actual character would be the one looking like a Japanese geisha, and that is if it really is a geisha costume, and not just some random Japanese woman in traditional dress. Look very carefully at those photos. A man dressed with an old tโshirt or whatever over his head to mimic an Arab with dynamite strapped to his chest? A Mestizo with his donkey? Native Americans of all ppl, who were… Read more »

I understand the first girl dressed as Lilโ Wayne (though Iโm somewhat uncomfortable with the black face)โฆ she is being a character or emulating a person. Same way I understand when girls dress as Pocahontas. Thereโs a difference between costume and mockery and I find the Arab and Mexican ethnic costumes are the most offensive to me even as an outsider (African woman).
If youโre dressing as Nefertiti, youโre not dressing as an entire ethnicity/culture of people. You can dress like Nefertiti without resorting to black face. If I dress as a famous historical figure from Asian history, Iโm not going to paint myself yellow and tape my eyes back because that crap is offensive and oppressive. We donโt live in a bubble where the world is free from racism, stuff like this hurts people and when they ask you not to do something, you need to listen instead of derailing with excuses.
well what do you think about this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChICboQK7GE&feature=feedu
I saw the vidโฆIโm not offended in any way she looked prettyโฆIts one thing to stuff your real and then cover yourself with paint and have gold teethโฆvery differentโฆsorry.
Iโm sorry, your saying people shouldnโt embrace other cultures? Your Mexican or Black, donโt go talking to those white people?
A couple years ago a bunch of university students went as the Jamaican Bobsled team from 1988 Olympics: 4 white guys in black face and a black guy in white face, nation wide press but no one got offended by the black guy emulating a fat white alcoholic.
Right. And if I dressed up as Bradley Allen from the โArtisans & Their Artsโ segments of SCTV, youโd probably be offended (because Iโm a Black man dressing up as as a white Jewish dude, who the character originally was.)
Iโm sorry, but Iโm not going to sugarcoat any of this; you are actively contributing to racism by not taking this seriously.

Itโs not flattery. Flattery would be accurately recreating a cultural costume. All of the above examples are charactiture, save maybe Lilโ Wayne, but thatโs minstrel territory to me. Example: For less than $30 and an inkling of thought and research, you can find a much nicer kimono than the one the lady is wearing in the picture. That example is what I think western society sees as Japan/Asian. The structure is wrong, the fabric is wrong, the outfit is worn wrong. It wants to be a โgeishaโ costume shows next to no idea as to what geisha actually wear. Itโs not… Read more »
If the โflatteryโ was done in better taste, then perhaps there would be nothing to be up in arms about. I often see costumes that portray stereotypes of a culture and not who we truly are (as the poster says). That could be the point where it is offensive.
Great points, but if you really want to imitate someone, imitate yourselfโฆ think, think, then rethink, the situation first before insulting cultures. I mean come on with all thats going on in the world today I am pretty sure you can find others costumes to display your ignorance.
I support them 100%!!
Great concept!
The geisha one doesnโt belong though. Itโs an occupation/character. Women dress like โhoesโ and strippers for Halloween. I was a belly dancer once. Same thing, itโs just a Japanese dancer/โhoeโ instead.
For the record, geishas are not hos. Being a geisha is nothing sexual, you are thinking of japanese women who would dress up as geishas to exoticize themselves and sleep with American and British GIs during WWII.
Belly dancers are also not hos. I think the campaign is brilliant because it educates people about the inconsistencies and misconceptions, that you have yourself, about a culture.
Sorry, she is a gardening tool?
Also not all Mexicans wear ponchos, or all black people multimillion dollar singersโฆ Why canโt Japanese girls be hyper sensitive. Donโt be discriminatory against the Japanese!
โSorry, she is a gardening tool?โ
*Giggles behind one hand, raises the other, church-lady fashion*
Tee-hee-hee :-)!
Actually, the word in question is a mispronunciation of the word โwhoreโ, forgive me for pointing out the obvious. I do so to suggest that if one simply substitutes an apostrophe for the โrโ, i.e. โwhoโeโ, that would put one closer in spelling to the word intended without offending garden tools or those who use them :-).
Okay, carry on, yโall! *tip-toeing on out*
Fyi, Japanese women do find this offensive for good reason, so yes, it does belong. Maybe you should read up on geishas and the fetishization of Asian women.
Ummmโฆboth geishas and belly dancers are known to work double as prostitutes. There are books and movies about this- and not from the Western perspective. Geishaโs would sell their virginity to pay back the house that trained them. Indian dancers worked as prostitutes as well. Secondly, I know โhoeโ is a slang way of writing โwhoreโ hence the quotes. I originally had โwhoreโ but it sounded too harsh (and too proper for this forum), so I went with โhoeโ as in โPimps and hoesโ parties (which are never called โPimps and whores parties,โ note. I wasnโt aware that this was an… Read more »
Dancers of middle eastern/north african genres do not all (or even most) double as prostitutes. Some very specific cultures, such as the Ouled Nail, do this to accumulate wealth (then they get married and settle down) but this is not the norm. It is an individualโs choice to participate in sexual services: prostitution is not inherently linked with these genres of dance. I am passionate about this becasue I AM a so called โbelly dancerโ and despise the claim that my art form is inherently linked with prostitution.

Okay, hereโs a compromise/clarification: SOME geishas and bellydancers double as prostitutes. I never said all, do note. (When I dressed as a bellydancer, I wasnโt going for the โwith extrasโ edition.) I brought up the prostitution example because though that can be a questionable choice of costume to some, I wanted to make the point that it is not specifically an attack on a CULTURE (as implied in the poster). If whore costumes are allowed, then one can have US ones, Japanese ones, Indian ones, etc. (Most comments I read about the geisha were about how it portrays the sexualization/exoticization… Read more »
I think the problem is stereotyping the culture. Not all Mexicans ride mules, not all Muslims are terrorist strapped with bombsโฆno one person represents a culture. People from those culture donโt walk around looking like that. They are just them, nothing that would be a costume. Theyโre not even famous. Itโs just a generalized person from what the wearers think the culture is, which they no nothing about.
You know itโs bad when Lilโ Wayne (if thatโs who she is, I just thought she was a random black chick) is the representation of the black culture. :/
Honestly, I think this is not that deep.
Brilliant campaign!
Wonderful campaign! I should go national!
They need to add a poster of a Black locโed person holding a picture of someone in those awful โrastaโ wigs as well as a poster of a Black afroโed person holding a pic of someone in an afro wig.
Good!! And this goes for those of โusโ who deem to denigrate and degrade our own culture.
I think that if I didnโt care about respecting other cultures I wouldnโt be offended. I value our differences and the beauty and rich history of others. I do not believe it is ever ok to mock a group of individuals especially when you know nada about that group. As a society we need to do better and expect better from each other.
Brilliant Ohio University!
its halloween, its not that serious. If thats the case Halloween would be stopped all together and every costume would be considered offensive from the pirate to the princess. We should find better things to focus on like the huge income gap thats affecting everybody. In the whole sceme of things and whats going this is trivial JMHO
I think there is an issue being created where there is none. One costume is not meant to represent a race/ethnic group, its meant to be OBVIOUS so that everyone knows what youโre supposed to be dressed up as! That is why stereotypes do the job perfectly! Who wants to be an educated latino for halloween..? Nobody, cuz we see them everyday, but this mule-riding latino is something you donโt see (if you live in the city). Thatโs why someone chose it as a costume. I do believe the โoccupations argumentโ is valid, cuz if we can be oversensitive about this… Read more »

I think the campaign should be airedโฆnationwide! There are plenty creative and funny costumes for Halloween! I think people who dress like the stereotypes for Halloween are not thinking outside the box!
SMH @ some of these Herman Cain-like comments. Sorry, but a white person donning black face, or strapping a fake bomb to themselves and putting a sheet over their head to be a Muslim (LOL so funnyโฆnot) is not aโokay or โNot the seriousโ.
Agreed! I think people think this is about PC, but it isnโt. Iโve been to a party where a white chick dressed up as a ghetto black chick and she was in blackface. She thought, because of her costume, she and I could bond because she was in blackface and I was black. She thought I knew what it was like to be a black chick from the hood. No, sorry, I grew up in Syracuse, NY. The only thing hood about there is that you should wear one when it snows. And for some people who donโt know, there… Read more »
Seriously, Iโm flabbergasted at the level of ignorance in here. People are acting like this crap is harmless fun when it isnโt.
People of colour really need to decolonise their minds and start thinking about this stuff critically because weโre really contributing to our own destruction by ignoring stereotypical depictions like these.
Amen. It amazes me how some people โ especially those of color โ are quick to write off this whole issue as being unimportant.

Somebody who gets it! Iโm telling you, the next time I hear a black person in particular say โYou take these things seriously donโt you?โ or โChill, itโs just light banterโ, I swear, my hand will just marry that their face.
People with culture complain everytime a white person acts too ignorant yet they allow the dummest things to be said or done in great disrespect of their culture/lineage. Worse yet, itโs usually done by them -.-
Please Please Please people, please Wake Up and think.
+1000. I am trying hard to understand how the things you have mentioned could be deemed as harmless. And even if the white chick was trying to be Lil Wayne, black face is NOT ok.
ROTFLMAO!!!! โSome of these Herman Cain-like commentsโ LOL!!! Yup, heโs uber brainwashed and too deep into the lie to see the light.
I think some of you are viewing this from an overly, almost charitable liberal viewpoint. Itโs great when you live in a multi-cultural, diverse and well intergrated city where this can be openly discussed and cultures borrow and learn from each other in an innocuous, friendly manner. However, there are places where this just does not happen, where non-minority people are only too happy to don blackface, geisha make-up or traditional costume and parade it as weird/other. Halloween is a time where people dress up as monsters, ghouls and mythical creatures as well as public figures deemed admirable or suitable… Read more »

Yeah itโs sad that alot of people will wear a costume to make fun of that person or religion racism is definitely alive and running. Some make it obvious while others do it behind your back. Just like something I saw on The View talking about halloween costume thatโs being called in to get is the Casey Anthony as the most hated. But I donโt think it would be wise to buy it considering that she got away with murder,and some folks might do there own justice to the wrong person who happened to be seen wearing it..
Its just insensitive!
I thought the costumes were hilarious, especially the Muslim character. I am sure if some non white dressed up like Heidi with blonde pig tails and a milk maids dress, no one would care a bit. Stereotypes are funny and even funnier to poke at, and every group has it. My motto is if you canโt laugh at yourself then you shouldnโt laugh at anyone else.
My problem with the ad is that the people look very sad and defeated over what are arguably ignorant/silly costumes. I donโt like the message that something as trivial as a costume (which may have had little thought put into in in terms of the message it conveys) can defeat our spirit.
If youโre a person of colour and youโre sitting there making excuses for people who wear racist Halloween costumes, I honestly feel sorry for you.
You can say that again! Such a bunch of cowards.
THANK YOU!!!! What is wrong with people??? I donโt even have the time to type a comment to them either lol
ok.. but someone could also say if some black women could put the Indian or the asian hair hair down.
I feel this whole think needs to be dissect.
I am not making excuses but you canโt look at one without the other.
Seriously??? There are much bigger issues in the world than some other ethnicity wearing an afro wig for Halloween. In that case Indian and Chinese women should be up in arms with all the black women parading around with their hair on their heads pretending to not have kinky hair underneath!
LOL yes!

Iโm increasingly disturbed by a point many here seem to be missing. If you see something as a problem, my failure to see it that way does not mean that a problem doesnโt exist. If someone has done something you find offensive, the fact that I donโt/wouldnโt find it offensive does not mean that no offense occurred. If someone does something you find dishonorable out of a misguided or ill-conceived intent to pay homage, my failure to understand why youโre insulted does not nullify or undo the insult. If this was a matter of law or the breach thereof, every… Read more »
โIgnorance of the law does not excuse breaking the law.โ Meaning that if you donโt know the law, there are enough resources available and easily enough accessed that you can remedy your ignorance quite easily and avoid breaking the law.

I know there were black cowboys, and that would be fine, but when you are dressing up as a cowboy named bubba who screws his sister, then youโre a racist. And that is what I was referencing.
I donโt think that applies here since no one thinks all white people are incestuous rednecks, but Iโve met plenty of people who think all Muslims are terrorists and all black people are ghetto, even to the point where they told me that Iโm โnot really blackโ or Iโm โnot one of those scary black peopleโ because I donโt act like a stereotype.
That is not true. At all there are plenty of people that I have met that have that perception about white people. If your going to be fair be fair across the board is right. I honestly if they are going to start pointing out insensitivities to cultures it should be all cultures. But why stop there how about fat costumes, gender costumes, or job costumes.

Bravo Ohio State!
This is off topic, but a great deal of these comments seem like their coming from ignorant people of color or people who are not of color.
You have to be real foolish if you think those costumes werenโt in some way offensive. If you donโt think so, pick up a real history book.
If a black person dressed up as a Jewish holocaust victim there would be outrage.

You are forgetting one racial group, the majority racial group in fact. White people. Letโs not think that they donโt get ridiculed or stereotyped. I am sure there will be plenty of hillbillies this Halloween, as well as every Halloween hereafter.
If you let things like this get so serious that you need a campaign against it, you are way too sensitive. Find a sense of humor and let it go. There are too many important things to worry about than one day of the year where people have license to be foolish.
