Seems that some enterprising person out there used their brain and designed an illegal alien Halloween costume; controversy has ensued of course, some people who lack a sense of humor find it offensive. Why not? Everything else is deemed offensive if it’s on the wrong side of the politically correct fence.
We found this story from a local NBC station in Los Angeles, in their write up of the illegal alien Halloween costume they call it “tasteless”. It’s simply an alien wearing an orange jumpsuit holding a green card with the term illegal alien plastered across the chest. What’s so tasteless about that? If you really want to see a tasteless costume click here.From NBC LA:
It’s “distasteful, mean-spirited and ignorant of social stigmas and current debate on immigration reform,” says Angelica Salas.
That argument might hold water if I were to dress up as a Hispanic gang member, say I belong to MS-13 and have the words illegal alien on my chest, but how exactly is a fake alien from outer space mean-spirited? Unless liberals think that we’re being particularly hard on aliens from other galaxies.
Social stigmas? Last time I talked to an alien he told me nothing about the social stigmas that he faces while visiting our lovely little planet. What is this really, just another illustration of the complete lack of humor on the side of the left. It doesn’t matter what issue, you can’t inject humor into the debate without some whiny liberal complaining about social stigmas or being racist of some kind. (Just look at how they turned Rush’s humor around on him.)
Another human rights group, this one out of Los Angeles, The Coalition for Human Immigrants Rights of Los Angeles has asked Target to remove the costume from their website. In proper politically correct fashion, Target said they had never intended to put the costume on their site to begin with; it made it there by mistake. Sure it did.
Oh well, the illegal alien Halloween costume despite the controversy is sure to be a hit this Halloween. And by the way, is there a coalition for non-human immigrants? If there’s not there should be, it’s only the politically correct thing to do.

I heard that Obama was going to attach a potato to the end of his penis and go trick-or-treating as a Dick-Tater.

I’m sick of political correctness

Now they’ll want their own pageant!!

…I don’t get it. I mean, how is anyone offended by this? If you came to America legally, then this costume isn’t about you. If you came to America illegally, then you shouldn’t be here in the first place and you have no say in the matter. Doesn’t matter WHAT your race is. Besides, freedom of speech. Fact of the matter is, you can say or insult whoever you want. There’s no law against being a jerk; hence why I don’t get mad at homophobic people. I’ll debate my cause, but in the end, they have a right to say what they want about my preference towards females.
October 17th, 2009 at 2:04 pm
because there are laws about racist speech, which i am sure will be argued here.
October 17th, 2009 at 2:07 pm
flyingmonkey,
i am not sure you know much about african american society, but there is a … rumor or tradition, however you want to categorize it, that aa women HATE it when aa men go after white women.
October 17th, 2009 at 2:08 pm
They can say whatever they want about my preference towards females too.
Whew! Glad to get that out in the open.
October 17th, 2009 at 2:14 pm
Those are mostly the militant black females lisab. I live in a town of less than 2,500 after living my whole life in Chicago. I’ve seen more mixed couples here than I saw there. Nobody seems to have a problem with it, male or female, black or white. I’m seeing a black woman now and nobody has a problem with that either.

I wonder if we will ever be able to reverse political correctness. I prefer someone to tell me exactly how they feel, versus looking for the *right* words. Whatever happened to old fashioned honesty…if you must say something mean, by all means do it…just shows your true character.
It’s easier to interact with folks that are straight forward than those being PC.

Joanne, here’s a definition of political correctness that I find amusing and hope you do too.
“Political Correctness”
a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”

i heard that it was because there were a lot more professional, college educated aa women with good jobs than there are aa men in the same category
so when a aa man goes after a white women it decreases the odds even more
that is just what i heard on oprah or one of those type shows, not from a scientific paper or anything

Blacks are becoming proud ever since obama became president. I hate blacks.
October 17th, 2009 at 4:46 pm
actually the mexicans outnumber you in los angeles and a lot of mixed heritage folks are around too that are extremely sensitive to any concept of the mention of illegal aliens, as they feel they won california back lock barrel and stock. they basically feel the US stole california from mexico and they are only returning to their rightful and much more profitable home, much like the pali’s want the right of return to Israel which as you can would change the whole politic of the place.
October 17th, 2009 at 4:48 pm
they basically feel the US stole california from mexico
well, they would basically be wrong, just like the palistinians
October 17th, 2009 at 4:49 pm
brian, what are you going to be for halloween ?
October 17th, 2009 at 4:50 pm
I hate blacks.- kigwa
that is racism, i believe. i like most blacks.
October 17th, 2009 at 4:52 pm
well they don’t feel they are wrong. so if you say anything they immediately block you out. so if you try and wear an ill. immi, uniform with green cards in los angles they will be throwing tomatillas and mercedes at you and have no interest in even considering your point.
