As a person of arabic decent, I dressed up as a sheik. My mom wasnt offended.
Does homer simpson offend fat white guys?
Does shrek offend big scottish guys?
Does the popular, inflated sumo wrestler costume offend japanese?


Why in the world would an asian be offended by a geisha costume? Are white people offended by cowboy costumes?

Are people who recently suffered death in their families offended by the gravestones, skeletons and rotting corpses?

All americans have cultural backgrounds and some are fun to dress up in. Its really nothing more than that.

OTay Jimmy, hang a picture of Buckwheat in your office and go about your business....

I see what your saying, but I see what they are saying too.
Now get back on your magic carpet and get out of here.

In the grand scheme of things I think Aunt Jemimah or Buckwheat is more offensive than OJ to black people.

I agree but if I or RIJimmy dressed as a sheik and weren't demeaning why is it offensive?

I need a picture of Kevin in his A. Jemmima outfit b/f I can defend him.
